> Dunning-Kruger effects are the result of one believing that they have more expertise than the do. I never said I'm a Windows expert. Maybe I just hit the worst case scenario or maybe you need street smarts when surfing the web from a Windows system. Maybe being an OS X user made me soft and easy prey. But still - alone that a reputable download source (one of those that pop up on the first google page) tricks me into downloading a custom archiver utility and wraps installers with crapware doesn't really speak for the Windows eco system. Now it could be an isolated case but then again if crapware spreading wouldn't be successful people wouldn't be doing it. And I doubt that all crapware infections come from Partition Magic downloads on Windows XP. > I am saying that its conclusion is not that of a Windows expert. But the thing is that Windows experts are the minority of all Windows users.
