Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] good free virus protection for Win XP?

[Vern Green <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I can resist it. I hate OS X. I have had some working with it, and
frankly give me a stripped down version of Linux that just does what I
need it to do.

Windows XP went nuts trying to make their system more Mac-like. I hate
the soft warm and fuzzy graphics and the transitions, zips, fades,
icons that jump around and so on and on and on.

I have reverted my XP installation back to a Classic view and I have
taken all those fancy pants nonsensical things and turned as many off
as I can.

OS X is worse than Windows when it comes to this nonsense. I don't
need a leaping Icon to tell me what program I just clicked on.
