  1. No, I am not going to add to this argument as all OS have different merits. However, as someone who is not eXperienced, I read today that a security issue has arisen for IE and Windows XP "upgrades", previous patches being wiped out by the XP upgrade.

    I understand, from [<a href="http://www.pcpro.co.uk/nexus23/php3/openframe.php3?page=newnews/newsarticl e.php3?id=3453">PC Pro</a>...]

    If your browser is vulnerable because you've never installed a patch, or recently upgraded to Windows XP Pro, download and install an all-encompassing patch from Microsoft [<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/Q313675/default.asp " target="_blank">here</a>]. To read more about the problem, and prove that your IE 6.0 browser is vulnerable, check out [<a href="http://www.solutions.fi/iebug2" target="_blank">this page</a>], from which you can run a live test.

    Further details are available from [<a href="http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/250596" target="_blank">Security Focus</a>] and [<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q313675" target="_blank">Microsoft</a>]. I am planning to upgrade to XP however, sometime in the not to distant future.
