Thing is.. many of us are new to these alternative operating systems... and don't really know how they are being used.

I think it is perfectly fine to ask these sorts of questions (even with a trolling tone). Just maybe somebody will stand up, answer the question and we'll all be better off for having had the question asked.

Btw, http://www.osnews.com/story.php/17790/The-Houses-RISC-OS-Built

I just wish people would lighten up a bit.

What relevance has this to the article in question? RISC OS Select 4 Issue 2 is available for RISC OS users, not Windows users with an urge to mock niche operating systems.

If you enjoy the OS, and can get your work done. I have to admit that when I last used the OS I liked it.

Oh and has anyone ever seen RISC OS malware?

There were viruses and a virus killer. There wasn't much chance of actually getting a virus though!
