Little or nothing, but it is pertinent to those folks who read this
newsgroup using Windows-based mail/newsreaders.

Cyberterrorism is a real concern. Should a Windows vulnerability be
exploited and take out significant numbers of systems, it would be an
advantage to have your station fully operational, including all digital
modes supported by your computer. So it has a lot to do with amateur radio
to have a robust computer.
