Hi folks,

Check this out...
http://www.pcfa.org/tech/avoidxp.heitml

"Microsoft implements the UNIX socket layer for the
Internet protocol (IP), which you might think is a
good thing. But, they do it with virtually NO
security. Essentially, most any virus/worm will be
able to propagate easily on or using your computer"

One more reason for not using M$ products (as if we
don't have enough ;-)
