Default New Computer, Few questions.

Hey guys, i just got a new computer recently and was wondering a few things. This computer is using windows vista 64 bit, and i was wondering what the average rating was on the windows experience index, and also if anybody knows any safe music downloaders(free). Limewire is sketchy and all. Also, i know this topic has been done, but i have McAfee, is it safe to just have it, i'm going to keep extra care of my computer anyways. Sorry for the length, Any other reccomendations for a new computer guys?..as far as keeping the one i have now in good shape, or improving it.
Thanks in advance.

That rating doesn't mean shit.

There is no "safe" P2P, but torrents are a good way to go - Utorrent.

McAfee is bullshit bloadware, get Avast or the like.

Use a firewall.

As for your old computer you could turn it into many different things, or keep it as a back up.
