Philo! You are using windows and me! This is shocking.
Is someone holding a gun to your head?

I find it hard to believe you have that crappy and dangerous
OS on any computer you own.

That you would choose to use it when you have Linux at your
disposal boggles the mind.

A hundred crackers who couldn't even run Linux probably just
retrieved all the personal data from your hdd. And M$ too.

While I'm no Windows fan and have used Linux exclusively for many, many,
many years, I think it's a big paranoid and counter-productive to your
Linux recruiting mission (or anti-mission) to claim that just by using
Windows that people could so easily grab your "personal data from your
hdd", or that MS would be able to, or would care to. Some data they
probably do have or log when you're online, but I don't think MS wants
to grab everyone's personal data.
