Safe, free, (and better!) software in Windows
Theres been a lot of talk in the media about how insecure Microsoft Internet Explorer is. Well, its all completely true — and actually worse.
Of course, this is true of Windows in general, which is why a lot of geeks like me run Linux, Macintosh, or other computer Operating Systems. However, this can be difficult, especially in a household without a full time tech support guru - or one addicted to a lot of Windows-only software; like Quicken, Turbo Tax, and many of the newer games.
Luckily there is a compromise. There has been a lot of Open Source software that originated in the Linux world that has made its way to Windows.
