The uber-geek website Slashdot is reporting that an unpatched Windows computer will last an average of 20 minutes on the internet before being compromised. This is HALF the uptime seen last year on the same kind of test. And since many Windows security patches require half an hour to install (with a slow connection for multiple patches) this means many Windows PCs can not stay online long enough to become secure. Any wonder that Bill Gates has been forced to declare "Trusted Computing" as Microsoft's #1 priority.
Of course, this ignores the fact that an Apple or Linux computer would last a heck of a lot longer. If you are buying today, and security is a concern of yours, consider an alternative to Windows!
