And you must wait a little longer for a more secure windows.
Also, Gates says that Longhorn can wait: http://www.zdnet.com.au/insight/software/0,39023769,39157671,00.htm (so go to OSX Tiger in Feb -- or KDE soonish -- for hard drive searching, rather than wait til '06)

These days, every Windows computer is a war zone of viruses, Trojans,
spyware, and other malicious code trying to exploit security holes in
Internet Explorer. One of the scariest of all, Download.Ject, discovered
in late June, worked to log keystrokes (usernames, passwords, PINs). All
this despite Bill Gates' 2002 declaration that security is his top
priority. We asked Stephen Toulouse, Microsoft's security program
manager, if Redmond is fighting a war it can't win.
WIRED: It's been more than a month since the first news of Download.Ject, and you still haven't issued a real fix for Internet Explorer. How long is it going to take? ..................
