There isn't many people who hate Windows more than I do. I came to hate it working for years as a support engineer. It was taking too much of my time, even though my primary job was Linux servers and firewalls. So I left the salaried work to make my living doing only what I want - and that's Linux support. And I agree with you - Linux is a better solution for all our parents.

Your claim that you needed a full week to setup a Windows machine so it is safe and usable is simply a bullshit, however. Takes a bit of time but not more than half a day to do it, all annoying balloons disabled included.

So, after a few usernames of times past ..cough...dtgm...cough...dtgm01...cough... I've finally settled on this one. I can only stress how important it is to not change passwords after marathon working sessions. Regardless of what you tell yourself, you will not remember that easy, simple password, that you would have to be a moron to forget, after being awake for 48 hours
