Vista and 7 are much less prone to malware infestation. Since Vista came out, I've seen less than a dozen compromised Vista computers... virtually all of my malware work is on XP.
That market is disappearing.

I remove malware for a living. Because I work in strangers' houses in unfamiliar neighborhoods, I also carry a large powerful handgun.

If I met someone who credibly claimed to be an author or distributor of malware, I fear I might "lose" several 80-cent bullets...

...teach them the CMD-environment batch file language, which became a real computer language sometime around 2001 and becomes better and more powerful with each successive iteration of Windows.

My first Saab 96 was a '69 model, with about 100K miles on it, and I drove it like a stolen car. I took it off-roading every chance I got... sometimes, I would be the only car out at the end of a Jeep trail, with the truckers trying to figure out how I got there.

I beat that poor thing unmercifully for about two years until one of the tie rod ends got sloppy. I replaced it, set the toe with a long piece of string, and drove to a shop to get the wheels aligned... but they were aligned perfectly after all that abuse, so the guy only charged me ten bucks.

My mother's father was the second Saab dealer in North America.
My father and I worked on every Saab in the southern half of our state from the '60s until 1980. My dad was known for converting '65-up models from the 3-cylinder engines to the later V4's, and he also did special effects for the one Bond film in which 007 drove a Saab. Saab offered to build a dealership for my father, but he was ready to retire... so they sold the franchise to a real loser, and stopped selling us parts.

The Saab 96 was so far ahead of its time that nobody has yet caught up to it. It was the stiffest, strongest & safest 2000-lb. car ever built.

My General Motors car has a GM radio, and that is monopolistic behavior... furthermore, by programming the radio to remember which key fob unlocked it and to get louder as the car's speed increases, they have tied the radio into the car's operating system in an unfair manner.
I demand that General Motors install a selection of radios in my car, and let me choose between them.

Stupid? No stupider than blaming Microsoft for including a browser in Windows. Can we sue Mac for putting Safari in their OS?

I wasn't in the military, so I can't argue... but, if you have time, look up what 3-7 Cavalry and its Apache Troop did on the way to Baghdad. They were a truly elite squadron, and they had an infinite kill ratio in Iraq: they slaughtered thousands of Fedayeen, Republican Guard, and everyone else who got in their way... and lost nobody.
This book gives a pretty good accounting of it. It confirms the harrowing stories he told about their drive up the Euphrates.

Indeed, he was.

...with an M1A1 Abrahms tank. He was a hard-core FPS gamer, and he joined the Army at 18. They tested him to see what his skills were, which included a turn in the Army's tank simulator.
As he tells it, he was in there a long time -- much longer than the recruits ahead of him had been. When he came out, the room was full of people, including officers, who were all staring at him.
He asked, "What's everybody looking at?
Someone replied, "A tanker, son... you just beat the highest score on that thing."

For his expertise, he was rewarded with an all-expense-paid trip to Baghdad in 2003...

I run a one-man PC repair company with about 750 customers. I'll happily sell it to HP for $12 million... or to you for $0.12 million.

I couldn't wait to find out which company HP would destroy next.

When I worked at a corporate office in Maryland, they used the building's air conditioning to cool the server room.
This worked well until the outside temperature got down to about 15 degrees Fahrenheit, but then it failed miserably: the outdoor condensers no longer functioned, the AC shut down, and the entire IT department went into a panic.
The first time this happened, I (a lowly Help Desk tech) suggested to the CIO that he run a duct into the room from the outside: a simple fan would bring in enough sub-freezing air to cool the servers.
The second time it happened, the look on his face told me he hadn't taken my suggestion seriously enough.
The third time, he flipped a switch and the fan cooled his server room just fine.

You obviously need to learn how to write a sentence!

Sun was pushing the Bing toolbar with a pre-checked box until last week... now they're pushing Carbonite 30-day trialware the same way.

When I build a Windows box, I turn off QuickTime's default automatic updates and delete the shortcut from the Start menu.
(I also install Flash and Java in front of the customer, so I can show them the "already checked box" scam).
