but i do keep an xp pro box or 2 around and would like a w7 box

could you echo the steps to lock down against updates?

like i said most of what i run is linux, bsd, or even....dos and os/2 --- ecommerce

tried vista, hated it (dunno why i hated it when i am 'ok' with 7)
tried 7 ...not to bad at all
tried 8 LOATHED it
tried 10, walked away in disgust

and the weird part is most computer 'literate' / tech industry people i know like xp pro/ 7 pro but hate 8-10
