It's out already, i installed it on my <ashamed> XP partition ;-) and it worked wonders,
Definate must.
That said, i primarily use Linux for everything other than Hebrew documents (although possible) and so far, been up to date with all the patches and Never a virus/spyware/malware problem in 4.5 years of usage. Not to say it's not possible, just harder and not as popular of a victim. In addition i've also NEVER paid for anything Linux related, and it's all above board.
I strongly suggest using partition magic , partiotioning your H/D and installing a user friendly Linux to be used for web browsing, email etc. It's just the safer way to go, and this way you can keep XP or whatever, use if for swhatever, but have the safety of Linux for any outside communication, net, email etc. BTW, the Linux ca nsee and write to your Windows partition keeping all your current docs etc., accessable.
