> I would like to learn how Ubuntu can make Microsoft Windows® safer:

Microsoft Windows®, by design, is inherently vulnerable to all sorts of known and yet to be discovered security flaws. These flaws can make your personal data freely available for hackers to access and use any way they like.

Boulder PC can convert your computer into a hacker proof Ubuntu workstation. Using VMWare we can setup your current Windows® installation to run from within this secure environment thus making Windows® safer to use.

Along the way we'll preserve all of your original settings, programs and data. You'll be able to use the Internet and all of your programs just like you're already used too, the only difference, you'll be doing it from a more secure place and with less worry.

> Safer Windows®?...

As mentioned Windows®, by design, is inherently vulnerable to all sorts of known and yet to be discovered security flaws. With that said the only safe version of Windows® is run on a computer that is not connected to the Internet, but that can be impractical especially when most Windows® programs require some connectivity.

Stop and think about what exactly you use Windows® to do. Create an Office document, manage contacts, sync your iPod or Windows® Mobile device, check email, manage your finances, play a game, download "stuff", Skype® a friend in China or just surf your favorite web sites.

That's a lot, but again, when Windows is connected to the Internet it has certain flaws that can compromise your most important data. So when you actually stop to think about it Windows® should only be used when it's absolutely necessary and shutdown when it is not in use.

Using Ubuntu as your primary OS and running Windows® as a virtual machine in a program called VMWare you'll be able to start and stop Windows® and only use it when needed. For things like downloading "stuff", Skype®, web surfing or even creating Office documents you can use the secure environment Ubuntu offers. If you're currently using Windows® as your primary OS we can convert it to become a virtual machine saving all your settings, installed programs and personal files.

If you have ever been the victim of a virus or malware program. if you have ever lost data to a Windows® security flaw, if you've had your credit card information stolen and survived the headache repairing the damage or if you just don't want it to happen to you this service is for you. Give us a call and we'll discuss your particular needs and together we'll create a functional and secure environment for you.
