I agree.
My first machine is Linux.

And I have the second one with Windows XP, totally isolated from the internet. ---> No connection at all.

I made this change a month ago, and I am a very happy user.

All the software is Open Source, it had been checked over and over again by thousands of users, bit by bit. So, no nasty surprises or code with hidden features.

That is the reason why Linux is solid rock.

And I am sure that you do not know... almost every software in Windows has a equivalent one in Linux, of course, FREE. (Many of them have a Windows version)

3D Studio Max = Blender
Photoshop = Gimp
M$ Office = Open Office
etc, etc, etc.......

By the way, if any moderator or owner from Subsim site want to remember me that I am connecting with WinXP, I would like to manifest that my browser is sending a string simulating to be XP. You can see that checking your traffic stats.
