Oddly enough... there are alternatives... I could care if you need to download a security patch every day... as an ISP I am going to charge you per byte on the patch BECAUSE you run a sub-standard OS...

NOW you are going to remind me that Win2K shipped a week before MS issued a 20Meg patch, and you are going to remind me that XP shipped a week before a 20 Meg patch...

and I am going to say TOUCH SH1T....

AM I SUPPOSED TO CARE THAT YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT REALITY?

Tell me a good OS then. Linux? HA, still need to get patches for that. Mac OSX? Please. Every single OS has it's problems and vunerabilities.

So you are going to tell people if you run a certain OS, you will pay more? What type of BS is that? And, as an ISP, you might have that many customers tolerant of your policies and soon you'll be left with few customers.

My guess is that you have issues with MS but unfortunatly for you (and some others), it is the most popular OS. WELCOME TO REALITY!
