   A lot of what you say, IMHO, might just be you.   
   Virus scan?  Defrag?  Registry clean (surely not)?  Software/driver updates?    
   What   
   maintenance apps?   
   None of those I do 'always'.   Yes I do update apps, but I use Patch my PC   
   home updater   
   and in one click it tells me what, if any, need to be updated, and will do   
   that for me.   
      
   So as much as I agree with you and I wouldn't leave my Linux and don't do much   
   in Windows   
   because I'm just not comfortable any longer, I wouldn't say it's as bad as you   
   say.
