Switching to Windows: Not as easy as you think

Switching to Windows: Not as easy as you think:

Okay, so I was finally logged in. There were icons all over the desktop. Icons I certainly had never placed there. With a growing sense of trepidation, I opened 'My Documents', a folder which should have been empty. It wasn't. It was full of my boss's stuff. I double-checked the profile information in Active Directory to make sure I hadn't inadvertently typed in the wrong profile path. I hadn't. Windows had simply magnanimously decided to swap my own My Documents folder with that of another user in the system.

I love these posts. Totally biased, but also totally factual.

When I found I could, as a regular user on XP, muck with other peoples' files on the machine, I knew then that there was absolutely no security on windows XP.

Still.

After so many tries, so many bugs, so many viruses and so many years.
