Talking about my X61 ThinkPad Tablet + R3dfox
I want to talk about my ThinkPad Tablet for a little bit, and to also cheer me up about why I enjoy my Windows 7 32bit machine.
I like that I can carry it around in a laptop bag, and it's square shaped, and I'm not sure if there's more newer laptops that are square shaped. But back on topic, I also like that my X61 ThinkPad Tablet has a stylus as well too, and a touch screen. My only cons is that I'll probably give it a slightly bigger hard drive, and I'll backup the whole laptop data in the Windows 7 way, in a flash drive I'll empty out on my main Asus laptop. I'll move onto R3dfox browser, it's mainly for older machines, and there's also a 64bit version can run on newer machines too, which is pretty neat honestly. I mainly use R3dfox on my older laptop since it's the only thing I can really pick that's also still getting updates. (I also made sure to only use 4 extentions and keep firefox sync off of the browser too.)
I also did this so my X61 ThinkPad tablet will use a lot less memory as well, and I also turned off firefox Sync as well to also prevent lag as well too.
I also like that I can change the color palette of the R3dfox interface too, mainly the colors but that's all really.

Windows 7 is the latest version of Windows I ever used, and the one I still use on the the rare occasions I can't avoid Windows.
But I'm curious: is it really safe to connect a Windows 7 machine to the Internet? My understanding is that the security is so broken that it wouldn't last five minutes.
How do you deal with that? Or is it not as bad as I thought?

It's not really bad thankfully, but I've been connected to the internet using Windows 7 for a long while, I just make sure to use software that's secure using Jotti and Filescan.io.
Usually when I connect to the internet using Windows 7, I always go to the "public network (bench)" for public areas or the "home network (house)" for my personal area, and then putting in the password for the internet connection iirc.

I think it's more dangerous without a firewall. But stay off sketchy sites.

@darkghost yeah, pretty much, just stay on websites that have the locked lock icon in the URL.
