This nonsense your spewing about Windows getting viruses like a toad has warts is ridiculous. If someone cant install a simple free AV program and keep it and the OS updated then they deserve to get malware. It couldn't be any simpler these days to keep Windows malware free. Once the security is installed it doesn't cost anything and updating can be done mostly automated in the background so it also often takes no work.
The days of the MS hating crowd relying on Windows security problems for justifying their ludicrous overzealous hatred of Windows has long since lost any credibility. Windows has been an easy to secure OS for many years now. Better teach the kids to stop installing infected questionable software. If your going to say why not just hook the kid up with Linux then sure, now all you have to tell him is he has to stop playing games on the computer.
If Linux works for you then fine. Linux is a great OS for those who's needs it meets. But if your telling me that you don't know how to secure Windows then either your a liar or you don't know the most simple and basic things about operating a computer. Its your choice now pick one.
