Just trying to get the ball rolling. If you do, do you follow extra
precautions? If not, would you consider using it on Windows?

I mine on Windows, mainly because I find it easier to configure
quickly.

However, all of my bitcoin and namecoin storage and transactions take
place on either a Linux or Mac OS X machine. Even still, I'm fairly
concerned about security with all the recent news. I'm hoping that the
next bitcoin client update is pushed out soon since it's supposed to
have encryption for the wallet.dat file built into it.

It will make a difference but I wonder how long till malware moves on
to keylogging bitcoin users. I'd vote for some type of random ordered
keypad you click with a mouse or something.
