Uhm, you *do* know that under windows most AVs (without any reason other than being badly written) use kernel hooks or kernel mode drivers to install and run their crap. So yes, They Can bring down the os, must like any other os would go down having it's kernel voilated. So I seem to miss your point, other than being a fanboy.

How is this in anyway a fair comparison. Comparing a new os with an very very old 5 year os. If you want a fair comparison try windows server 2008, which improved on all the points you mentioned against win2k3. I'm just saying, you're suddenly praising linux because a newer os is easier to install then an aging one :omg:

Ah, so i assume you invented a way to stream and play hd content using only html and css and javascript?
