[ale] Seeking ways to getting around spyware on Windows

[esoteric at 3times25.net (Geoffrey)]

I'm curious as to why windows for your parents.  Is there a specific 
software package they require?  I've had my mother-in-law on Linux since 
SuSE 7.2.  All she does is word processing (openoffice), email 
(thunderbird) and browsing (firefox).

I can't tell you how much time this has saved me when it comes to fixing 
things.  Before I was over there at least once a week, now it's simply 
for upgrades.
