Re: XP is garbage

Hello Guy,

You have to decide whether you want something that runs like Windows or doesn't run like Windows. If it's like Windows, it's insecure.
If it's secure the user has to do some things in a non-windows fashion, such as not running as root/administrator.

Thing is, I cannot decide. There is a certain number of programs I need to run for business reasons. If there is only one that runs under Windows and nothing else I am stuck. So is everybody else.

Regards, Joerg
