Heh. Come on Jakk - you know as well as I that Windows is not that bad anymore. It's a great urban legend now. Besides, I doubt that anyone will be pluggin cheap RAM, printers, PCI cards and such into a dedicated science machine. How about freeware, spyware and viruses? Nah - it will be stable. :p

what about the worms that tear threw the common users computer every now and then. it would only take one time for a worm to hit these computers before a patch is released and bam-o... i use windows and would never imagin using anything else nor do i complain. but computers as those... i hope they use norton firewall :D

Tiger, you'll probably find that such machines are kept on VERY secure internal networks and well away from the outside world and all the nasties it brings

They probably do, but you know how it goes. If someone wants in bad enough they'll find a way.
