    Nope. I'd rather use Windows than give out my (un)social (in)security
    number over the internet. (If you keep the Windows box disconnected from
    the internet you're reasonably safe from viruses and crackers.)

    Yes, I trust my ability to use awful software (Windows) more than I
    trust sys-admins I've never met to keep internet servers secure.
