I personally perfer windows over macs because most of the software out there is written for windows only and I am far more familliar with the windows interface.
I have used about 1% of my available space and I have about 400 emails in my account. I don't think I will ever hit the ever increasing space limit on gmail.
I think guild wars is a really fun game however you can only play it so long before it gets boring. I like how the game is more skill based than time based and has a large amount of quests. After about 2 or 3 months it started to get boring because I was running out of things to do. I can't wait for arena.net to release the next expansion of the game.
I've played ragnarok for years since the alpha stage and it's my favorite mmorpg. I don't play it much anymore since I did pretty much all there is to do in the game. I'm really looking forward to the release of ragnarok 2.
Like the rest of you I also use google. Its simplistic and effective. Also google is one of those rare companies that aren't all about the money but rather user statisfaction.
I think skype is a good program for VOIP and I use it occasionally. The quality is good and the skype out prices are realtively cheap. I would use it more often but I think it uses more memory than it should for a VOIP program and it starts to slow down my computer when I'm connected to a conference of four people. There are better alternatives in my opinion.
I think the big reason why people download spyware is a lack of education. People just don't realize what they are downloading onto their computers. I have had alot of friends call me over to help do something on the computer. While doing this I have noticed that many people have alot of spyware software installed onto their computer. When I point it out to them they always say that they didn't know that the program contained spyware. I explain to them the type of things to look out for and usually when I come over the next time they have signifcantly less malicious software installed if any at all.
