Yes there are free simulations available, a lot of the old classics have remained free such as King's Cross and Peterborough.
Paid sims should have a 15 minute trial so you can check things out.
I see no evidence they've paid for SSL, that's just a generic certificate being offered on port 443 as SNI hasn't been configured to offer the correct one.
Looks like quite the mickey mouse affair, I've seen phishing scams with better websites.
No they don't, it's sending one for "*.secure-secure.co.uk" - which doesn't seem to be an actual website, just one provided by GoGetHosting - which also looks rather unprofessional.
Doubt you have 200MB, I think only Hyperoptic offer that, you've probably got 200Mb instead.
Have you looked to see if you can get fibre to the cabinet or fibre to the premises, that should be pretty fast.
Yes, Linux is used worldwide for many things, support is far cheaper and the system is more secure out the box.
Also on the subject of attachments, that's not how this one spreads, it looks for SMB based file shares and goes in that way.
I don't recall many MS OS releases being that great on initial launch, XP was awful until SP1 and even then SP2 and SP3 made it far better, Windows 95 had 3 different releases, 98 had a second edition, only ME (I think) never had a major update.
The other main issue was the whole "Vista Capable" shambles, with machines that would run XP reasonably well being shipped with Vista, but not having the CPU/Memory to run it decently. I did run Vista for a while (until 7 came out), and with 4GB RAM and a decent CPU it was reasonable.
