Since I installed F-Secure on my XP system (free from my ISP so why not?), it takes so long to get to the point where the system is usable that I'll do something which involves walking away from my desk like grabbing a cup of coffee. Boot the same system into Linux, and it's worth sitting in front of the system to start work. -- Paul Sture
