Hmm, shall I resist the urge... No, I won't... ;-) Windows has an
enormous share of the market, and it's very bad. Proliferation isn't
something I'd use to gauge the goodness of something. :-\
It seems to me the _administration_ and _implementation_ of Windows is
often very bad.
The first thing to if you want to secure Windows is to install it to
NTFS: otherwise, you have no filesystem security.
My Acer Aspire camw with Windows XP Home preinstalled to FAT32.
The second is to have separate administrative and user accounts. I think
its fairly pointless on FAT32, but it seems to me most users make
themselves administrators.
Miss either of those points and your windows box is wide open.
