Because she is 9 and doesn’t know how to do much of anything with a computer. So to ensure she doesn’t break anything or end up where she shouldn’t… Windows vista
to ensure she doesn’t break anything or end up where she shouldn’t…
So she uses an operating system that’s near to 2 decades old OS with years of live without any security patches whatsoever? I would say that’s rather more dangerous for her, than using an up to date operating system.
Just install an up to date os of your choice (be it Linux (Mint) or Windows) and create her an account without admin privileges and some reliable antivirus (especially on windows). If you want to be really safe you can filter her network traffic. There are countless tools for this. One of the easier ones to use is NextDNS even though it’s possible there are even better solutions.
Relax, it’s not that different from a modern computer. She not going to have it for ever anyway. She doesn’t use it for school. She does use more modern computers all the time for various things. And yes there are plenty of apps that still work on vista.
It’s not that hard. In fact I set up a windows vista computer for a child to use not that long ago.
Why
Because he hates his child and wants her/him to suffer, so he forces him to use windows vista. That’s an obvious answer
It’s a way of limiting screen time
Punishment
Character building exercise and/or tragic backstory

What thinks can’t break on µsoft Windows Vista, but can on other versions?
It uses the lotion or else it gets the hose again.
Close, but wrong.
