  If M$ put together an e-machine which had nothing
on it but web browsing, usenet, and e-mail, with 
nothing more than monitor, keyboard, mouse and RJ-11 
jacks for I/O, that e-machine would still be riddled
with security holes... because M$ would still insist
on including Activex, Java, macros and allll the other 
crap that makes everything so "user friendly" but also
makes it prone to exploit.
