Yeah, point taken. But unless he is intending to run a file server for
Windows-clients there is no need to spend money, CPU, Memory,
hardrive-space, bandwith OR labour on a anti-virus tool. If some idiot
sends him an infected email intended to spread trouhgout the outlook
address book, it will simply just stop when it hits his evolution/etc.
