Did you know that if you run a network you can scan your PC for viruses via other PCs using several different virus scanners? No virus scanner gets it all. This is narrows down the window for contracting a virus. By using multiple operating systems you can use different virus scanners with no risk of conflict.

Too much too little too late

That's hilarious I recall the Windows crew stating that support for Windows Vista Home Premium was, to use their words, "indefinite". I'm not really sure what that means anymore.
