Re: Alarmed about Vista security? Don't be, you are very safe!

You might be safer with Vista than with unpatched XP, but Vista is the worst-designed and least user-friendly OS I've ever seen [not to mention a resource hog of ludicrous proportions]. Interoperability with older OSes and hardware is problematic at best, and a lot of relatively recent hardware as well as virtually all older hardware is unsupported.

I'm reminded of Benjamin Franklin, who said:
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

If XP support ever dries up completely, I'm off to Linux or Mac, or maybe back to the Amiga where I started.
