Haha yes we know it blows! But sometimes you're stuck using that.

As for the BitTorrent type server, I remember hearing about that before but is Windows 10 the first version to do that?

I don't get any warnings in either Linux or Windows.  I don't know whether they are legitimate or not.  But I do have a problem with their pricing structure.  In order for them to make a profit on any server, they would have to pack an awful lot of VPS's on a physical server box.  That means a serious performance hit on each VPS.   The only way to tell whether this outfit is legit is for someone here willing to take the risk is to buy a cheap VPS and see what happens.   If I were to do it I would use a one time use virtual credit card number just in case.

=============

Hold on.  I am looking over that site and it appears to me that they don't actually offer or sell anything.  They appear to be a listing site for other organizations to list cheap VPS and Reseller hosting.   Anyone else read that over enough to pick that up?

=========

Looks like some of these offers are scams.  For example KudoHosting lists a Reseller 600 GB setup with unmetered bandwidth for $29/hear.   But if you go to their site using the link, the actual price is $29/month.   I'll check out a few others.

Only warning I get is some content is insecure or it's a mixed content site. And that's with Norton and malwarebytes live or whatever they call it running under Firefox.

Haha looks legit to me. Maybe you're running in paranoid mode?

I would look at what HP has to offer.  Their PCs are really nice and last a long time.  You can get some really good deals on their refurbished PCs and laptops.  They even come with a warranty.  Their configurations are good for most people.

The important thing is to buy a PC or laptop that is expandable so you can add memory and anything else you want to enhance it in the future.

I've always been a desktop person but I have a couple of laptops and a fire tablet.  My desktop has a Logitech surround sound speaker system.  I use my desktop PC as a second TV at times.  It works for me.

Lets all say it together - Linux or bust.  >:D

If you migrate to Win10 you will be sorry. I use it every day at work and it blows.

I didn't get any warnings, but it looks like a scam to me.  I'm using Chrome and Norton.

That is just unbelievable.  MS really overstepped its bounds with this.  Thanks for posting this.

Pretty soon Windows 7 will be obsolete and I'll have to go to Windows 10.  I'd use something else, but all my other software depends on Windows.

1- Turn off the "feature" that by default makes your Win 10 computer an update server for other people --

Essentially, your PC is controlled by Win10 to be a Bittorrent type server node by default?
