Actually I use XP and I think it's OK. I did have Linux on a second dual-boot box for a while, but eventually took it off (machine not really quick enough for it).
I don't necessarily subscribe to the argument that Linux is totally secure because viruses only target MS. There are Linux viruses out there, and if Linux was a prevalent as MS then there would be loads more. There are only more MS viruses because there are hundreds of millions more MS boxes.
Most virsues spread by *****s opening attachments anyway, although of course some notable ones use exploits. If Linux were more widely used then I'm sure exploits would be found for it.
