   I forgot to mention.. I'm on the same page as you w.r.t AV crappola required   
   for Win OS!  I'm sick of it.  I delay the Win7 Security Essentials update   
   announcements for as long as I can.  I *hate* being forced to reboot after   
   other system updates.  Even the shutdown process forces you to wait as it   
   installs stuff, then there is further delay during the actual reboot.   
      
   I installed a network driver update one time and all my previous settings for   
   wake on lan and mouse/keyboard wake and other things were overwritten.   
      
   I generally put my win pcs on hibernate.
