The comments make a very entertaining read. Here's the Executive Summary:
Tom: What should I install first on the Vaio?
Damien: Anti Virus
Justin: Ubuntu
Tom: Damien - the laptop will have Onecare installed
Justin, thatâs actually a fantastic suggestion
Paul: Windows XP
John: I think I see a Raftery Roastingâ on the horizon
Jonathan: the issue of virus protection and OneCare you might be
interested in this <link #1>
Valehru: I wouldnât install Vista as I think itâs an overrated pile of
junk
Niall: Careful with OneCare, seemingly it has a nasty habit of
deleting user emails <link #2>
Steven: try hosing it with a virus
Lal: I did an article here <link #3> regarding bloggers getting
âgiftsâ
