Since Windows 98, through Windows 2000 (which I must admit was rather uneventful). Macroviruses in office docs. VBScript viruses like Iloveyou. A single or two ActiveX sploits. The brunt of the viruses was under Win 98, the trojans and spyware under Windows XP. It doesn't take much the first time to fool a user. Then you learn and don't repeat. But that is first after having had to clean out your system from malware. having done that too many times I can't wait to wave goodbye to the mediocre user experience that windows has turned out to be.
Not BAD. Just not especially transparent, alas.
