Hi again,
I sent my PS before seeing your reply!
Let's wait for confirmation of this, but my understanding is that (at least when I heard about it in the past) a linux comp could "carry" a Windows-targetted virus, but whether it could migrate accross partitions I don't know. I'd say it could get onto a usb drive then from there to an opened Win partition.
If that's the only way, ie it can't swim from LL partition to Win partition, then before releasing the Win pasword instruct user to avoid using old usb drives etc.
I'll be interested in more info re partitions being "quarantined" or not.
