It is unfortunate that so much effort and time is wasted in
senseless discussion on "which version of Windows" is best/most
suited to implementation of Plone CMS.<br>
<br>
Almost all the discussion has centred on "desktop" versions of
Windows which makes absolutely no sense and is useless for learning
best configurations for more permanent for final website setup,
especially as Windows "desktops" do not have - for example - proxy
or caching functionality, fine grained authentication/security
framework and other tools essential for quality CMS solution.<br>
<br>
On more than one occasion, I have recommended to Microsoft Windows
(only) technologist that they install Plone on a "hardly used or
discarded" small (low specification) PC with a <u><i>very simple</i></u><i><b>
Linux</b></i> install process (e.g. Fedora Linux). This had many
advantages in allowing the person to access Plone on Linux server<i><u>
via Windows desktop PC</u></i>. No stopping Plone process to run
Office suite or other end-user application in Windows desktop
install, and many of afore-mentioned necessary configurations can be
made on the Linux server.<br>
