Brief summary:
OS X = Fixie
Linux = Recumbent
Unix = "Dutch bike"
Windows = Department store bike

What if we upgrade the windows bike to XP SP3, install every known patch, run the very best AV program, and hide it all behind a security wall that would make the Berlin Wall look like a curb?
Does that make the bike at least a fair road bike?
