It's a religious war.... The differences are largely inconsequential, 
but people will still duel to the death over them.

Canon vs. Nikon
Ford vs. Chevy
Hatfield vs. McCoy

21 years worth of PC's. (Currently 5.. 3 dual boot xp/Ubuntu(Gnome), 
one (the big box) Ubuntu (KDE/Gnome) only, 1 XP-only netbook - the 
linux boot is on an external drive when I feel inclined to be 
untraceable.).  

Never a virus, never a spyware, never a problem with them.  

Once a year I reregister my free AV program, plug in the registration 
number, and forget about it for 12 months.  Total time:  about 2 
minutes per computer per year.  --
