Hi!
I am going to reinstall my home-lan.
At the moment I am planning which microsoft operating system to use
(there will be a linux partition also :-).
I am a bit nervous about viruses (by this I mean viruses, worms,
trojans, backdoors and all vulnerables). Can you tell me which microsoft
operating system is less susceptible to viruses? I own old copies of
Win98 SE and WinME and would purchase Windows 2000 or Windows XP if
those are saver.
Regards and thanks in advance
Harald
