BTW, did I mention windows runs FAST? I mean FAST. So fast that I can load a webpage in Firefox before you can say fast. I can load a huge battle in Rome: Total War before you finish this paragraph.

edit: I'll elaborate. There are better options...

I can't see how anyone can consider an OS that requires one to install several different 3rd party programs just to keep it secure and prevent it from from becoming infected, "good". When even the producer of the OS admits that some problems can't be fixed and the answer is to reinstall the OS on a regular basis, "good" definitely doesn't come to mind. I'd say it is acceptable to use if you take the proper precautions, but "good" just doesn't work. Mind you, I still use Win 2K and XP daily in a corporate environment and problems STILL exist with the locked down machines, so I'm not some random "Mac Head" throwing stones here.
Now, if you secure it, it may be good, but the fact that you even need to secure it, in my mind, prevents me from considered it good.
And I'm sorry, if you come to a forum called "Mac-Forums" and can't stand people disliking an MS OS, then maybe you don't need to be here to begin with.

I personnally think that, since the whole MacIntel and BootCamp stuff came up, there's way too much Windows-talk around here, and with about maybe 5-10% of them being usefull posts, the rest's just crap talking filling up the forum's server...
I'm not bashing Windows, every OS has it's good and bad sides...nevertheless this is a Mac forum...please keep that in mind when posting.
