   Well I installed MSSE on one of my brothers system and he got a virus.   
   Thus I reinstalled WinXP Pro SP3 from scratch.   
      
   He didn't want me to install MSSE ever again, so I reinstalled AVG, on   
   his request (also on his i7 Win7 64-bit machine).   
      
   I just don't get it, that people simply don't install a GNU/Linux   
   distribution and then run Windows Toy-R-Us OS in a virtual machine. As   
   soon as they have a working virtual machine, save a snapshot and if   
   something screws up Windows again, simply load the previous snapshot.   
      
   However in the meantime I've come to realize that virtualisation   
   obviously is way too complex for most average Joe WinLuser.   
      
   I guess efficiency isn't quite their cup of tea.
