#4 My favorite version of Windows for standard PC's was Windows 95, the next release after Windows 3.1. Windows 95 core concepts are still seen almost 35 years later in the newest Windows versions. My web server was Windows Server 2012's using Internet Information Server with Oracle as my Database on my database server, also Windows 2012. I even went out on the limb and tried using Microsoft Access as my Database for a while and was surprised at how fast and reliable it ran on a dedicated database server for a flat file. I credit Intel and lots of Memory for all of that.

#7 Amen to everything said above. It is heartening to know the outages are intentional, not from suppressive efforts by those, foreign and domestic, who find this small voice of traditional American opinion threatening!

#10 Linux. So secure. I'm definitely not saying NT based Windows is better, it's not. That said, the recently discovered effort to put a backdoor into the ZX package on Linux should wake people up. It was caught. This time. Doesn't mean a similar exploit didn't already slip by or that one won't slip by next time.

The Linux "community" is whining about how this happens because "unpaid volunteers, burnout, blah blah, blah." Not at all untrue. More importantly, hackers focus on the juicy targets. Remember that when someone says "Linux is the backbone of the Internet."
