Yup, riddled with it. I'd be surprised if you can survive 30 seconds without getting hit with some.

Ross, it's made by people who want to make the world of computing better for everyone, not people who are out to get other people. Besides, as I said above and you seemed to ignore, there are no Linux viruses, there is no Linux spyware. In addition, these projects are actually overseen by people. Assuming it did exist, it would never be allowed in. All these things are made, as I said above, by people who care about others and want to make things better for all computer users everywhere. That's what gives it such a pleasant environment to be in and makes it such a pleasant experience.

I'm not in a bad mood, I just don't like being shut down by someone as closed-minded as you seem to be sometimes.

This, my friend, is the reason for dual booting, and also running Windows in a VMware session inside of Linux. Both solutions work very well for me, and I'm sure if you gave them a shot, they'd work well for you.

Serves me well, although I'm sure you would disagree.

You know, that attitude helps no one, really. I'm sorry you don't see eye-to-eye with me on this one but if you're going to just be contrary then no offense, but just don't participate. No one's forcing you to.

I've never said anything of the kind and I kind of resent the implication. I may talk about why I prefer it and why I believe it to be better, but I never said anything about the fact that you should switch and I certainly never mentioned hellfire or anything of the sort, whether or not you were being serious.
