"an OS that can let such things occur on extremely important pieces of the OS, is junky." well, all Win OS's were affected except for win9x. and hey, when you develop an os as huge as windows is, it's gonna have holes. I mean, *nix has holes too, the only difference is that 99.9% of virus authors are going after the big bad M$, so *nix is relatively safe.

"The restarts" huh? what restarts? my pc never restarts unless if I tell it to.

" the annoyance of having forced users" no clue what you're talking about there...
