Original Message In another thread, someone mentioned a website that was listed by an anti-virus company as being a possible malware site.

I understand that most people are cost conscious and purchase PC's for various reasons. However, given Windows LONG history of being a virus magnet and extremely shitty reliability, WTF?

Is it too hard for most people to shitcan MS and simply install a different OS?

I can see needing to run it for "special" software, but for the love of all things holy, you CAN do almost everything one needs to do WITHOUT Windows. Even better, most are FREE and are not affected (yes, exceptions are out there) malware.

Just throwing this out for general discussion. Personally, I've bought many PC's and laptops that came with Windows... primarily because it's hard to buy one that doesn't come with it installed.

Why not just install another OS (Linux) and be done with it. What you'll end up with is a PC that actually does what it's supposed to.

What gives? Too hard to deal with? Love of Windows runneth too deeply?

Peace.
