and I am also convincing people (and sorry to be harsh for those m$ fans), that m$ windows is nothing but a biggest spyware and virus in itself. and I am also finding good ways of proving it. give them their own statement of internet surffing and they ask me "I never uploaded so much information, how is this number so high?" afterall when you install a spyware called windows on your machine this is what happens.
While I agree with the fact that windows *attracts* viruses and spyware like flies getting attracted to decaying fruit. But I disagree with statements that the Windows OS itself is a spyware. Windows by default has automatic updates security enabled, just as Debian has when it looks for security updates on the repos while installation. There are other linux distros too that check the net for updates, on post installation. As an extra measure, M$ has the WGA package to check for pirated products, which it is in its right to do so. Those who use genuine M$ products have nothing to fear.
