Until then, have fun playing with these shiny new toys on an experimental box.]

Wrong term. Have fun playing with them inside a box on your box....

BTW, I use JonDoFox, and K-Meleon to brows in the MS environment. The former for invisibility, the latter for speed, script controls, and its ability to mimic half a dozen other popular browsers.

Haven't had a hijack, injection, or virus on my linux box in 9 years.
Had a cocktail of 18 on Wimpdows XP last week when a popup came up on my 2 year old while he was at disney.com. Norton signatures seem to be behind times lately.

P.S.
If you have wine installed and want a nice little virus to play with in your wine API, check out IEs4Linux. (Yup, they are performing the sac-religious contamination of Linux by putting IE on it.)

I personally like the idea of a virtualized browsing environment. Something that runs a small simple bullet proof OS that is used just for surfing/content delivery on top of as a guest and/or sandboxed in the host OS. Multi-platform, maybe even on a USB drive that you could take with you. This way you could go to any computer and surf with privacy.

xor, Firefox has just such a USB drive for sale and you can download it as well.

It seems so called "bullet proof" OS's have been replaced with bullet proof browsers and virtualizations... tools that protect and in come cases oversee the OS.
