as a general rule that defines guaranteed user inacessibility to system
function and control, dude, you need a windows platform. the unfortunate
consequence in that choice is that micro$xxt will make you pay for your
control over that system. otherwise, you're going to have to invest some time
in educating yourself about how to secure that system. linux is free in the
sense of getting hold of it and in the sense of your freedom to make it do
what you want, but not in the sense of others doing the work that you need to
do to make it work for you. think of it like your local architects offering
the basic concepts of engineering as a class at your local school, and then
rendering their individual blueprints for your solution available at the
local library. you've got to patch it all together by yourself. there's a
backup in the sense that others who've taken the same path may choose to
share their hard-earned wisdom, but you've got to convince them that your
project is worthy of their help.
