Lol. Makes me happy that I switched to Linux-only at home last week. After 
2 months of XP and 8 years of Windows in general, I've had enough.

Three cheers for Opera, Mozilla, Konqueror, Galeon and Netscape! Barely a 
single security vulnerability in any of the Linux versions, yet about 2 per 
month for IE/Windows over the past 5 years.
