Unfortunately for me, Ubuntu doesn't work too well with my machine. I had to go with Mandriva instead and there's still some pretty buggy driver issues
there where X sessions are involved.
I've been trying out Windows 7 lately, and I must say that I am impressed. It is surprisingly quick and responsive, and the drivers it came with worked
right from the word, 'Go.'
From what I understand, this add-on is not really a security flaw - the opposite really. The issue is that people at MS were careless enough not to include a
blurb about what that plug-in is, what it does, and give you the choice of installing it or not. Then again, they probably did think about it and came to the
decision that about 75% of the people buying computers these days don't know a USB port from a floppy drive, and thus figured that something like that
would simply confuse most of their customers.
Search your feelings: you know them to be true.
