There are a very small number of Microsoft "believers" here. I personally despise
the company, because they are underhanded in their business practices. But the plain
simple truth is that their products are easier to run than any version of Linux that
I've looked at. One day that may no longer be true, and I will gladly switch, if
I'm still alive.
I spend no time worrying about security risks, and fell that I'm quite secure. A
linux user that doesn't "hack (whatever that means to you)" their system?? Oh come
on, that's what Linux users do. They live for that. Hacking can be fun as a hobby,
but it's certainly not required.
