But Windows only works best in one of two scenarios.
- Virtualization (Virtual PC on Windows, Parallels on Mac or Vmware on Linux)
- Isolation - Get the machine configured just the way you want it and never put it on the net.
With virtualization you can close a corrupted or infected copy, delete the file and launch a fresh drive (What I do for guests when they come over).
Or, isolation the machine never touches the Internet only for authorized software downloads and necessary updates. (My XP video machine has never seen service pack 2.)
Run in a protected environment and you will be much happier. Mac, PC, Linux...who the fuck cares?
