In previous OS News articles, I've
claimed that mature computers up to ten years old can be
refurbished and made useful. My last article
identified and evaluated
different ways to refurbish these
computers.
One approach is to keep the existing Windows install and clean it
up. This has the advantage of retaining the Windows license and
software, the
installed
applications, and the existing drivers. But it
takes some work. In this article we'll see what this entails.

While my job no longer entails anything to do with end users, I agree with you 100%.
On my own windows machines at home I just add MSE and ensure the firewall is turned on. I also use foxit reader - not for security but because Adobe sucks. Hard.
Actually Adobe is the shining example of previously functional software that is now so bloated that anything is better. And their security sucks.
