Microsoft = poor; Your best alternate choice?
First person who offers a basic bundle of browser, Email client, word processor and data base that is malware resistant for $49.95 is going to make LOTS of money.
Call me spoiled, but twice daily headlines like this are getting tiresome.

Security researchers have discovered a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft Word, which is already being actively exploited by hackers in China and Taiwan. Microsoft’s Security Response Center says it is working with antivirus vendors to prevent attacks and plans to release a security patch on June 13.

Windows has certainly become *THE target*.
Mozilla is part way there.
They just need to add a W.P. and database that are bulletproof.
What is your idea of a RELIABLE alternate suite to Windows?
Billy Gates is doing his best to be nice to me, [the little guy], but he is too successful and thus a main target.
I need a low profile alternate choice so as not to waste so much time on cleaning malware.
I see a mess of unfinished possible alternates out there, Redhat, Ubuntu, Mac, Mozzilla, what would you choose? TG
