Yes, but it takes time. When was the last time any of my PCs were
infected with anything?

And I do plug my laptop into the net without a hardware firewall or any
third party software firewalls either, don't run any real time AV or
spyware/malware/whatever scanner.

The biggest issue with Windows at this point is the default
configuration, especially with regards to user accounts.

I agree 100% that they have a long way to go, but it's entirely possible
to run Microsoft systems connected to the net without becoming infected
by anything.

And no, I don't use IE, OE, or let Outlook touch the internet.
