[LUAU] Its time to simply ban Windoze machines from the Internet

> Would the system be safer if it was all on a CD and there was no hard drive?

In a way.  The system could still be attacked and used by attackers to
stage attacks against other machines, but without a way to save any
persistent state, you'd get back to a "clean" state by just rebooting
(barring any bios hacks or using USB storage for persistent state, which
some CD based systems do).

Of course, if an attacker could get into the system before the reboot,
they'll be able to get in again after the reboot, as the system will
be essentially the same.

> Would you be able to make a CD based system fast enough for a basic user?

Yes.
