   Hey all,   
       
   NA> Since 2000 I've taken a mountain of insults, techno-nonsense and outright   
   NA> hysteria over running my BBS on Windows because I will be "hacked   
   NA> tomorrow".   
       
   Well I wasn't hacked (and didn't expect to be really), just wanted to update a   
   bit and have settled on Windows 7.  Windows 10 wouldn't even run DB, not even   
   the installer, Wine was a no-show as it told me to install Dosbox (maybe I'll   
   do this one day if I'm bored), so I just set up Win 7 to check it out.  Turns   
   out it is still updating, not sure if they're recent, but it did run Windows   
   update over and over until it was done.   
       
   The only thing I really noticed was having to run DB as Administrator to set   
   up (and I'm assuming modify) the Bink service, along with the firewall being a   
   bit different.  Other than that it's going fine.   
       
   That being said, it's my other instance of DB running Win7 at the moment, not   
   this one, so I need to get of my a$$ soon and do this one too :-)     
   Thanks,   
   Dean.
