He's dead, Jim!

Every time I hear or read about another Windows virus I get a
mental image of some poor soul with a slashed carotid artery,
horizontal on the ground, and a stern-faced physician gingerly
applying a band-aid to the wound.

Windows since Longhorn, not Halo, is the biggest fantasy
software for Windows.

But do you really think that longhorn will have significantly less security flaws and bugs? If so, I have some great land in florida you might be interested in.
