Yeah...
I've been meaning to do this for some time, as I currently use Gentoo
Linux with KOffice at home--and after watching my boyfriend help some
friends of ours clean up their Windows XP PC (my GOD the viruses and
spyware they had collected!) and yes, I know that it's possible to
"harden" a windows system and make it very secure--I am really, really
glad that I so rarely boot into the Windows side of my PC. Anyway, there
are lots of fun apps that seem to need some documenting--games and such.
Once I GET some time, I will be happy to donate some of it to documenting
open source apps. (for no pay, and not even a byline!)
