simply stump up the £96 to convert to a genuine copy.

Are you kidding? The best idea is to... keep one machine on the network with Linux or Leopard and any other with MS stuff. Call it Internet Machine.
without updates, antivirus or firewall.

Work on the any other machine, call it WORK and if you have to send something to some one, or you're working on a web page and have to update, or... whatever you need Internet to use... send to made folder on the Internet Machine.

Most of us have laptops and desktop as well, so the best solution would be working as described above.

Any machine without antivirus, antiphishing, without firewalls and all that BS will be very fast and furious.

Use KVM switch and manually disconnect WORK machine from the net. Connect, when you have to for only that moment.

In The Internet Machine you will have to only browsing and emails. If stuff will happened, reinstall Linux or Leopard and keep going, use portable Firefox and Thunderbird or web email to be safest.

Sooner o later you will love Linux (Or leopard) and slowly migrate to one of them.
