Too many folks have their computers infected that are running anti-malware
programs for me to believe that Windows can ever be made secure and exposed
to the Internet. I wasn't kidding when I said it was insecure by design,
either; Microsoft has publicly admitted as much.

I don't wear blinders about Windows boxes. I used to run them. I run Macs on
my desktop and laptop because of all the trouble I had with Windows. To me,
those machines are tools, and getting out of the way and letting me get my
real work done is what they're for. I can do that with a Mac a lot more
easily than I can with Windows.
