I only run Ubuntu and macOS now. I haven't run Windows for some years. I wondered if being able to control OS upgrades might be useful for imagers. I know sessions can be ruined by impromptu Windows upgrades/updates. Another good reason to run Ubuntu if you ask me lol.

I run Windows 10 and XP on the obs computers.

I don't have either of the obs computers connected to the net purely so they cannot do updates. 

Never have and never will. 

No updates no grief.

Yeah, that'll do it. One of the reasons I stopped using Win 7 was when Mickeysoft surreptitiously regularly changed my system back to auto-updating. Having a dedicated air-gapped observatory computer would work.
