"We evaluated the security features of Windows XP SP2 on a test machine, following a clean install of XP Pro with no configuration changes and no third-party software or drivers installed. We installed XP with the NTFS file system, choosing all of the factory defaults, then patched it with each recommended security update including SP-1 (required), before installing SP2."

This article is nothing but to bash MS. After while these bashing get's really old. MS must be doing somthing right because nobody can't stop talking about them. Why do you care about Windows if you use Linux or Apple? Common since tells you to use an up to date antivirus and most update themselves automatically and a great firewall. I use Bitdefender, it's a great antivirus and a firewall that doesn't consume much resources. By the way Bitdefender also stops any software to access the registry unless you tell it to. I just downloaded Windows Media Player, what an awesome jukebox. It now has MP3 coding and it's lots faster ripping than Music Match which I also like.
