And you've never had to reinstall Windows?

As you said you are a masochist, till recently my Desktop was Debian
stable home and work and unsurprisingly this sort of thing never
happened. Okay the browser got hideously out of date, and relatively
slower, but then Windows 7 still needs you to opt for IE9 so not so
different there.
Err.. no that's what the hefty fine MS paid the EU was about. Now when you install Windows 7 you are offered a choice of browser, e.g Firefox, Chrome etc as well as IE.
