Performance shock

[Ed Sutherland]

I'm far from a Windows fan, but I've never experienced much slowdown or 
wasted much productivity due to security scans or MS patch installation. 
I schedule any anti-virus scans for early in the morning, when I'm off 
grabbing a cup of coffee anyway, or late at night before I shut down the 
system. In today's world, we don't normally look upon keeping the door 
locked or not talking to the local sex offender as tasks that waste our 
time or degrade our productivity; such actions are simple precautions we 
take while living in the real world.
