keeping the AV uptodate, leaving the Windows Firewall up.

Hi Yousuf,
I do the same thing.
I also use Brave and Firefox and not M$ browsers or
Googlized Blink (chromium) browsers.
I also only do private stuff through Fedora.
And I might add that W-Nein (W10) being supported
and W7 not, is a false sense of security. M$'s
security is abysmal and you are still under threat
with W-Nein, EVEN with it being supported.
Plus, no updates to W7 mean IT WILL WORK WHEN YOU
TURN IT ON! A lot of folks are not so lucky after
a W-Nein build update.
I do have several customers that have had such
problems with W-Nein updates that they have requested
that I disable W-Nein updates. And, yes, I do give
them the standard warnings to keep their AV and
firewall updated. They can not see how a virus would
do any more damage that what they have experienced
with a W-Nein update.
Me personally, on my W-Nein virtual machine, it is
completely frozen. I only do build updates when
they come out and only from ISO.
What is W-Nein? I've never heard of that.
You should use Windows 10.
"W-Nein (W10)"
Your take on Windows 10 which you call W-Nein,which translates to'
W-No' which doesn't make very much sense.

Hi Rene,
Learn to count in Germany. Then it will make sense.
M$ deliberately skipped Windows Nine as "nine"
in English sound identical to "Nein" (no) in Germany.
Then they lied and lied and lied their asses off
about it. Not a single programmer had any trouble
telling Windows Nein apart from Windows 98.
Had M$ just been honest, I would have had to just stick
with calling Windows Nein "Son of Frankenstein".
Frankenstein the Elder => Windows Eight
Frankenstein the Younger => Windows Nein
But where would be the fun in that?
Are you following?

no spying
no junkware preloaded
no bloat ware preloaded
no idiot tiles
no web account

Just a simple, straight forward working version of Windows!
The MOST most sensible version of Windows YET! Just say NO!
Think I will get my wish? Don't hold my breath?
Better *you* learn to count and spell in German!!
check this site and many others, the tell me if there is an i in Neun

T's explanation for his fairy tale is not very clear.
After Windows 8[.1], the next would be Windows 9, which would be
pronounced as 'windows nine' in English. If - note *if* - a German would
say that, it would sound somewhat like 'windows nein' in German, which
would indeed be equivalent to 'windows no' in English.
However, the blatant flaw in this fairy tale is that a German would
not say 'windows nein', but - as you say - would say 'windows neun'. So
in the real world, the language 'pun' wouldn't/doesn't work.
If the fairy tale isn't of T's own making, it's probably from someone
else who thinks (s)he understands German, but doesn't.
Hi Frank,
You are looking at this joke from the wrong perspective.
I double any German listening to an English speaker would
notice if Nine sounded like Nein. Most Germans I knew
spoke three languages and highly doubt they would even care.
The things (are they still considered human?) that
freaked out over this are the genetically modified human,
weasel, cock roach hybrids working in M$'s marketing
department. NOTHING THAT EVEN REMOTELY SOUNDS LIKE
"WINDOWS NO" IN ANY LANGUAGE WOULD BE ALLOWED. NEVER!!!
So these genetically modified organisms skipped Nein and
jumped to Ten. Then release a ton of Bovine Excrement
about programmers not being able to tell Windows 98 apart
from Windows Nine.
This is where the joke comes from. Not from what German
speakers hear.
And I would posit that the marketing weasels would have had
to deal with a lot less fall out over the matter if they had just come
clean.
And those that find such things funny would go be back to
trying to trick their Canadian friends into saying "about"
(they say "a-boot"). If you are really lucky, you can even trick them
into singing the In-And-Out Burger song
-T
Here is some of the fall out the GMO Weasels could
have avoided.
Do not listen to this if you have no sense of humor.
No bitching if your listen and get offended. You
were warmed:
Windows Nein?
