For all those that say Vista go home im switching to Linux

[NJTackle]

I'm a windows guy so it never even crossed my mind to switch my OS especially when I run all Windows Servers.

Although not bullet proof, MS has spent some time on the security for Windows XP and Vista.. Just curious....how are these other systems with security, virus attacks, DOS attacks, all ports scans, etc.? In the corporate world workstations sit behind firewalls and routers so running one of these OS's probably isn't that big of a deal. But the average home user hooks directly up to the net and is visible to the world. This may be a huge security risk for some. JMO.

PS - Vista is a pig when it comes to hardware requirements. Unless you are upgrading your PC I'd stay away from any OS upgrade alone. Besides...many old programs & games can NOT run reliable on Vista. I'll do my upgrade when I'm forced to!!!
