OK I have to put my 2 cents in.  I run a small ISP and the majority of
our end users are running win 98.  I know back in the stone age.  Most
of our problems come from XP and ME.  I personally run Mandrake and win
2K for a few necessary programs.  The is only so much you can do to
prevent spyware.  We scan viruses and spam but we still have problems
with virus on our network coming over via html.  You can only educate
the public if they are having a problem....  spyware virus spam..  We
tried sending mass emails and being informative but it doesn't work. 
Microsoft has the country by their mice because it is easy.  Autoinstall
autoconfigure autoblow up and autopropogate virus.  The one person/
company that can do anything about it has done nothing other than be a
pain in my a$$.  So here it is a toast to the open source community
where software is built all for one and used one for all.  GPL.
