You might have a point there with your box Curt ;-) But, Windows has a nice little utility that will patch you system for you and pop up a nice little box near the clock that says system patched too... Windows Update works quite well actually. Now if it was only turned full on by default.

One of, if not THE most secure *NIX kernels,
BSD,
known for having the fewest vulns, combined with THE most awesome gui around. Toss in nice features like an auto patcher that drops a prominant dialogue in the middle of your screen the moment it detects a patch, and the
ability
to have a terminal session where you can execute all the *NIX commands and scripts you're used to, and I have everything in a desktop I've always wanted. In addition to be blazingly fast, and an OS that has had one virus in 5 years, the aluminum box looks really cool. I'm in love.
