bill; modern versions of linux do that for you, and you can easily have it update itself on boot or daily. I'd be much happier to have someone who doesn't understand security using linux than windows.

Windows 8's Windows Defender does sound good, but only time will tell whether virus writers find a way to slip around it. Until then, I only have the past security record of Microsoft to go by, and that tells me to remain cautious.
