Is Windows a Virus? No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
1.They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.
2.Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that.
3.Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too.
4.Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. - Sigh.. Windows does that, too.
5.Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. - Yup, Windows does that, too.
Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
So Windows is not a virus.
It's a bug.
TOP 10 ‘must have’ Applications for your PC!! Well it doesn’t really matter if you use your PC too often or not, here are some of the much needed applications that you must have installed on your PC. These applications are recommendable for the Windows platform, although these are the recommendations for the above average people who are neither geeks nor amateurs as far as the in-depth technical knowledge is concerned (not featuring compilers and things of those sorts)–
1. Mozilla Firefox 3.0 with Google toolbar: One of the best web browsers with loads of plug-ins giving you a great web browsing experience with RSS feeds and bookmarks.
2. AVG Anti-virus 7.5 freeware: An anti-virus that saves your PC from thousands of malicious attacks is a must have for any one and every one, and what could be better if you get it for free! I would recommend AVG 7.5 free edition, however I don’t like the updated version 8.0
3. Google Earth: An amazing application from Google allowing you to trace the smallest part of the world in an instant! I simply love discovering the nooks and corners of my city with this…
4. SQL Server & Management Studio 2007 – It took a little while to get used to it VS Query Analyzer/Enterprise Manager but I like it now so much better.
5. CrapCleaner - A must have to easily keep your PC running smoothly and not letting crappy temp files cog your memory.
6. Visual Studio 2005 – I do all my .NET work out of here, I also just installed SP 1 and have found it to speed things up.
7. Gaim - I have an AOL account but this thing is so much nicer and less resource intense
8. Win Zip/Win Rar: The best fool for compressing and storing/mailing huge files.
9. Zune Theme for XP – I have Vista as a dual boot but when I am in XP I prefer for it to look this way.
10. FireWorks - I’ve never found Photoshop to be intuitive, and rather prefer FireWorks for web work in terms of how things are cut!
