Re: Stop using MS Windows is also an option

I don't care if my kernel, device drivers or boot code are overwritten, I can restore them from the installation media.

The important files are my personal files, which I have full R/W access to.

I think a more functional sandboxing of external untrusted content would help. Currently it seems that you can do little with untrusted files, until you click on the unblock, which everyone is trained to do if its enabled.
