The case for not updating windows 7 ever

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes, thanks guys. I don't plan to worry about what updates I do or don't have (I'm sure I wouldn't understand what they were if someone handed me a list) just so long as I can get online to service my website when I want to, get my mail and come on here to annoy you lot.

Btw, the START button is working now, so some of it must've taken...

Surfing, emailing: go Linux.

Website management: don't know. If you need software for that that only runs under Windows, well, then... But maybe there are Linux software alternatives serving for this purpose of maintaining own websites? Somebody knowing this stuff must answer this, I never did web-stuff.

Hey you stole my post!


Repeat after us: LINUX! It does what you need.

Apache is so good that the vast majority of web pages you visit every day are served not by anything Microsoft, but by Apache on Linux.

By "service my website", do you mean to interface with the server? Or do you mean creating web pages for your website?

There are several programs to do both...

"Apache" is a web server for Linux that has been around for a long while, so there are plenty of programs available to do both interfacing, and creating web pages for said servers...
