Don't get you hopes up too much with linux, if the world decides that it needs a certain degree of security then linux will either have to join or it will be left out and won't even be able to connect to most webpages because they won't have that security level the pages demand. (pages=software=things in general)
How is that going to help IF both need the same amount or type of protection and you don't want to use it?! Just so you have two options to not use?Dual boot FTW!
