To me, it's a miracle how every tiny article on OSNews.com, or any other tech-site, ends up in people shouting all sorts of nonsense at each other like "Linux is gonna bring back Elvis", "Windows shot president Kennedy", "Linux kept the cold war cold" or "Bill Gates wants to buy the moon and charge people for looking at it". Do these people really know what they are saying, or are they just going with the Open-Source flow? Update: Rebuttal article here.

Eh, most virus scanners will run in the back and scan/update by themselves if you wish. Don't like the overhead of a virus scanner running in the background, then what's the alternative? Linux running VMWare of Win4Lin? Ha!!

If you don't want spyware on your machine, then don't install any. How hard is that?
