The term Tune-Up normally is associated with automotive repair. A tune-up is something that gets done on your automobile at regular intervals or when it’s not running right. Most of the time the later is true. Many people, including myself, put off regular maintenance to their automobile and don’t start thinking about it until it stops running or stops running well. Because of this association many industries, including computer repair, have picked up the token phrase “Tune-Up”. The idea is to express to the customer that once they are finished the product will function correctly.

This is another subject that I have heard much debate on.

As an example lets use the Linux operating system. I have heard many people claim that if Linux was as popular as windows it would have just as many viruses. While I do agree it would have more I do not agree it would be to the same extent. Currently windows has approximately 60,000 viruses compared to Linux having around 40. I have heard a few estimates so I do not know how accurate those numbers are but I know that the scale is tipped that far. So do these numbers reflect the fact that Linux is not as popular as windows.
