This is why I update my MS stuff bi-weekly, even if there's nothing posted out there.

Security wise, you will probably like Vista, but the casual user will not like the extra steps you have to go through to screw up your machine. I've been using it since Beta 2 came out, just installed enterprise 2 weeks ago, and I can't find a thing I don't like about it.

MS Office has had a lot of security risk increases since institution of ADS for interoperability with Mac OS and its Office.

A lot of the MS security issues arise because there is still original Windows 1 beta code embedded in the OS, and Office V1 code embedded in Office (including DOS code in both). Win/Office is bloated with useless lines that can't be wiped because of some old link that'll kill the entire program. I'm waiting for the general release of Vista, I believe it was essentially started from scratch on the NT kernel, right? From what I've heard it runs like the old MS OS2, only in 64 bit.

Yup, That's why i am giving Windows a chance (security wise). I am a Linux user, wannabe Mac user, but hell, Windows, well it has the apps and works (most of the time). Other than the ethical aspect of not using it, it does have most viruses written to attack it hence i try not to use it. But as i said, it works.
