It's the only way to go - if you know what you're doing. I've been anti-virus free since W2K - it slowed my old PC down way too much. Using Linux on the desktop has also helped.

If you also play it safe, like someone mentioned by avoiding porn, warez and P2P sites and software, you shouldn't have anything to worry about either, regardless of your OS. If you're into risky activities do it in a VM which you can revert to it's original state.
