People who hate M$-Windows run Linux.  People who love Unix run *BSD. :-)

Linux people just need to let go.  Ditch the M$-envy wannabe syndrome
altogether and run *BSD, not Linux.  That way, you'll have your
computer (not just PC) running *reliably*.

*BSD: no hype required. >;-)

(Is that sufficient evangelism?:)

Cheers,

Paul.

PS: More pertinent, perhaps to the original thread is that the problem
lies with the browser---specifically, with M$IE.  Other browsers, such
as current Firefox, Mozilla, and even Netscape 7.1 (all available
under M$-Windows) have built-in functionality that allow you to block
unrequested popup windows in a configurable way via settings in
Preferences.
