I don't often write here, but at the moment I don't see why BitFrost should be used in the first case (except, because we _can_). Why protect GNU/Linux from Windows? If people install Windows on their XOs, then it's their problem. And the Virus/BotNet/... can't spread to not Windows infected XOs, so there's no reason to be afraid. Or did I miss Windows getting preinstalled on every XO or something similarly absurd?
