switches aren't always about security issues.

and strangely, people tend to have this stupid mentality that every user uses only 1 OS. it's as if OSes are religion.

for me, i use at least 3 OSes. Mac OS X is probably the best i've come by so far (yay FreeBSD!!)

just look at LYN's various sub-forums. you'll see stuff like "HELP..POP UP..." to "here's my Hijackthis log" and so on so forth.

it's not just symantec. everyone's getting a piece of something out of Windows security.

just look at the ocean of personal firewall, anti-spyware / adware / malware balbalblabla available for Windows.

just ask any casual user on LYN what do they have installed on their Windows machine. there's countless 3rd party apps to handle Windows' insecurity.
