It now appears, with e-mails to "Plone Setup" forum these two recent postings - one from someone in UK - /*[email protected]*/ - asking about Windows registry Cleaner software and second apparently from Russian - /*[email protected]*/ with a reply offering such registry cleaner (assuredly malware), that the forum has been hijacked by spam bots and idiots whose intentions veer completely to the opposite of any purpose or interest in Plone Content Management Systems (CMS) in any form.
In hindsight the forum moderator should have *_/instantly stopped any and all comments on "Best Windows version for Plone install" discussion/_*, since that topic is extraneous to any help or support of Plone on the Microsoft Windows OS. Personally I have become somewhat disappointed in the catering and strong slant to Windows support for Plone in most of the forums and Plone print publications, compared to almost non -existent support or help system for Plone on *BSD Operating Systems for example, that by coincidence are Free/Open Source Software (FOSS), exactly as is Plone. While I bear no animus to Windows or any 'proprietary' software ecosystem, it strikes me as naive for Plone or any other FOSS community or development organizations to not be constantly mindful and vigilant of the root principles and thrust of FOSS projects in the first place. Such negligence always is detrimental to the cause of Free Software, since most commercial companies like Microsoft will subvert FOSS software like Plone in an instant, if it competes too successfully in the marketplace to threaten their own CMS sales efforts, or not in their self (financial) interest.
