I would not try to dual boot Windows and OpenBSD. There are too
many disgusting viri out that smash parts of partitions. OpenBSD
or anything else on the disk is a sitting duck once not active. Don't
do it. The AV situation on Windows is out of control--a conservative
estimate is that there are 4M pieces of malware out for Windows.
Personally I feel this is a red herring. If you are finding viri on
your system then OpenBSD helps but could be hacked too. Viri are
unlikely with a security conscious OpenBSD user. You are doing
something wrong or need to silo your actions.
Um, maybe I'm not writing well. I'm talking about a dual-boot Windows
OpenBSD system, which gets a Windows virus, which wipes out the
disk. Effectively asleep, OpenBSD gets creamed. That's what I mean
about dual-booting being a risk.
