To support your point, in my own case, until the end of last year, I
used to run M$ Windows Me RC3 (a relatively stable release of Windows
Me, whose production release was a disaster > legal copy from Microsoft
I was an official beta tester) with AVG & Wyvernworks Firewall 2004
(both closed-source, free softwares).
I used to visit a large number of web sites, but never had any virus
issues. One thing I used to do as a security-conscious user, was enable
file extension display, and avoid opening any e-mails with .scr,.pif, or
any executable extension to the attachment.
I did have attempted network backdoor accesses (intrusions?) from other
users on my ISP's network. However, these were blocked by my firewall.

Very true in my case too. I have extentions enabled in my systems too.
My older comp runs on Me (liscenced) too. It is stable and never gave
any serious problems. Like you, I regularly visit dofferent sites and
try our new softwares but my system was well protected.
What I am trying to tell to the linuxers is just what Gishu said in his
mail. Look at the good side of Windows and implement the same in linux
to make it more popular.

Rony.
