Do you use Windows XP in any way, shape, or form in 2021?
-
Mypal can access LULZ and pirate bay (only sites I use) and can run borderlands 2 and Stardew valley after some bullshittery. XP is too comfy for me to switch anytime soon

If they ain’t broke what’s the advantage? You can’t get N key rollover like that sadly.
-
>If they ain’t broke what’s the advantage?
Native USB, lower latency, hardware macro support, entirely remappable on the fly, NKRO, hotkeys.>You can’t get N key rollover like that sadly.
Of course you can, you have to cut a few traces and run a few patch cables yourself.-
>Native USB
>lower latency
no.
even my ryzen asus board still has ps/2 ports because of scrotebrained gaymers and 3rd world office drones.
-
It has PS/2 ports because devices using it don’t need drivers.
-
wrong, ps/2 requires a drive for operating system support just as a usb controller/hid needs one

>ps/2 ports
i like being able to power on my system with the keyboard, but fuck you i guess.
OT: some XP VMs for old software is about it-
That’s what I miss about PS/2 keyboards, unfortunately my mobo doesn’t support them anymore, and good keyboards that use it are starting to cost a fortune

-
yes
-
No, but instead I use Windows 2000 with KernelEx.
-
Might I ask why? Not bashing or anything, just curious
-
It’s more lightweight, and with KernelEx it supports most of XP-only software (at the very least it runs the software I need). The computer I have it on is an Atom N270 potato of a netbook, so any bit of optimization helps.
Also I just like the way it looks. -
I also like 2000 over XP. More lightweight, less buggy (especially with the kernel), and it didn’t get botched with all of the security stuff that Microsoft packed into SP3. Overall a lot cleaner in terms of UX as well.
-
would be great if there was an x64 edition for more than 4 gigs ram.

Windows 2000 was the best interface. Clean, modern, professional. XP is a joke. I would gladly pay a $500 year license for Win2000.

I do have a few users using my web app on XP, they got like Firefox 52 or something ancient, freaking hell it’s insanely annoying to test for them.-
Firefox 52 ESR is the newest version of the official builds that will run on XP. If you have communication with them, you could advise them to use MyPal. Given that it’s a fork of Pale Moon, it might still be problematic, but I’d imagine it would be at least slightly better in terms of compatibility.

I keep copies .msstyles files for use on wine, including zune and royal

Yeah, I use it on my laptop because my old composite capture card doesn’t like my W7 desktop for some reason

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen XP running at that high of a resolution. It’s amazing how much less archaic it looks running like that.

How to activate XP?
-
you don’t, you use the volume licensing version which only needs a product key
-
how to? i want to put windows xp on an old laptop, but got btfo’ed by activation.
-
download the vlk/corp version
i’ve personally never used the regular versions of xp with activation, because why on earth would i want activation?
i’m pretty sure there are ways to crack the activation as well, but 99% of pirates just used the vlk version to skip it altogether, it’s not like it was hard to get, actually you could get it before xp was even out-
Where?

https://archive.org/details/en_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_vl_x14-73974_201910
VL (Volume License) version of Windows XP was sold to corporations, and was never intended for retail. The only difference is that it doesn’t require online activation, just enter the CD key and that’s it.-
thanks
-
-
there’s a guide in MDL on how to activate it. not hard to follow, but it’s more than just clicking a button on daz loader or pressing 2 keys on kms_vl_all
-
tried messing around the registry but that didn’t do anything. Then I tried Windows XP volume license edition and that worked.

Couple of machines in our factory still run it. Software we use for an old machine won’t work on anything beyond it. We also have a Windows 98 labeling machine.
-
Same. It’s still used for a surprising number of industrial control PCs. I found an xp machine buried in an x-ray baggage machine a year or so ago.

why do all the hackers fuck around with windows 2000 and xp and vista kernel extensions, when really they should be working on windows 7 kernel extensions to make windows 10 programs work, then 7 could live forever
-
7 doesn’t have too many issues yet, XP is a compatibility nightmare and it has extremely loyal users. When 7 approached the point that XP is at then everyone will start working on that
-
There are already some functions in Win8.1 kernel that 7 doesn’t have: https://msfn.org/board/topic/182595-windows-7-extended-kernel/?do=findComment&comment=1198107
Windows 7 KernelEx can’t come out soon enough.

I use both WinXP and Win98SE on my two offline machines. They’re simply excellent OS’s, and the last usable Windows. I use Manjaro Linux on my daily drivers. I find it baffling that anyone still seriously uses Windows. Basically the thing only exists because of gamers. The continued existence of Windows and Apple is a mystery.

Yeah I have a core 2 duo HP laptop running Windows XP that has bootleg PSA service software so I don’t have to bring my car to stealership for diagnostics.

I use windows vista on this machine, it even has TPM so I can use bitlocker
I will NOT "upgrade" and I will NOT take my meds-
What does vista have that 7 doesn’t?
-
Dreamscenes, the more coherent and consistent version of Aero, overactive UAC and meme potential
A lack of browser support
A lack of software support in generalIt’s like running XP compatibility wise but with a better visual appearance than 7 I guess
-
Actually Vista software compatibility is a bit better than XP. Since the OS is much closer to 7 than XP, a lot of software that isn’t "supported" works. And there are developers who still supoort it, but not XP such as K-Lite Codec Pack and AIMP.
Plus, it has a decent x64 version-
Also Vista KernelEx is currently in the works.

Tries that a while back, I either got told BIOS wasn’t ACPI compliant or just to remove my hard drives

Hold F7 key when it tells you to press F6 to load drivers, that should skip the ACPI check and it would install without ACPI.

>to remove my hard drives
try disabling all the SATA drives in the BIOS that aren’t the ones you are installing it on-
Should I also remove my ssd?

I have a couple clients who freaking REFUSE to upgrade from XP… the last set of conversations were real fun
>I bought this turbo tax and it says its not compatiblle
Yeah you need to upgrade, xp hasn’t been supported since 2012
>That doesn’t make any sense, it still works though
There are no security updates from Microsoft so XP is dangerous to use for online activities.later
>I can’t log onto my bank, it says my systems out of date
Yeah… We have been going over this for the past several years, you NEED TO UPGRADE
>But I like XP
But it doesn’t WORK with anything anymore. you HAVE to upgrade
>Maybe I’ll just start going to the bank instead of going onlinefreaking dude won’t budge.
Also had one today telling me that XP was the best and 10 sucks because you can’t

I will keep that in mind thank you! but…I’m sick of dealing with hardware thats old AF, for stubborn people who refuse any ioda of change in their daily lives. I’m over people trying to have me hunt down exact replacements for their ancient flip phone because after 10 years, the ‘8’ button isn’t working anymore… and complaining their Pentium 4 Dell dimension tower is slow, or the hdd failed and they’re not going to throw it away because they paid $900 back in the early 00’s.
I do enjoy playing with older equipment, but the stubborness of John Q Public is just killing me now a days
-
I hope that you are milking these boomers. Sounds like you have the perfect paypigs. Unless they still think you should be paid the 2007 rate
-
Lol yeah i wish… Also im too nice. I let them get away with more than I should. Most of my older customers are the type of boomer who blames you for anything currently wrong because you touched it last… I used to take it in stride, but I’ve gotten to where I basically make them admit that its not my fault because i’m sick of their shit. Windows update causes a pc to not boot, my fault because i reset their gmail password a month ago… Screen is broken 4 months after I do a malware removal and Its totally not related to shutting a pen in the laptop.
I had one the other day expected me to give them a free hdd and windows install because ‘you sold me this computer’…. 4 years ago… I had to explain that ‘this is like buying a pair of shoes, and after wearing them for 4 years, they have a hole in them. You either pay a cobbler to fix the hole or you get a new pair of shoes… A company will replace them if they are defective off the bat, but not because they wear down.
These boomers think that buying a computer is like buying furniture, or kitchen cabinets, you should ‘have it for life’ essentially.With XP, vista, and 7 I now just say NO, upgrade your shit (a little more nicely of course). Only then to be hit with a barrage of ‘senior discount? military discount’ "I’m on a fixed income", "I’ll give you… 250 for a $450.00 pc" and act like I must be desperate for the sale like some slimeball used car salesman who needs to meet his quota or be fired by end of day. I love what I do.. but the people just make it insufferable most of the time.

I’ve never gotten good gaming performance in XP VMs, what’s the secret?
-
parallels desktop on macOS has better performance than wine
-
Lack of hardware acceleration.
-
THIS (lol my other software still works fine on XP)
now that vbox 3d acceleration is dropped how do i keep playing my old retro gaymes there
also XP is really light i use it as a rudimentary flash player (since i don’t wanna patch my system32)-
you could just drop in mesa’s llvm softpipe (software renderer)
while it obviously has high cpu usage and low performance next to even the weakest gpus, it is something, and on a good computer good enough for simple/old programs -
VMWare Workstation Player. Have a friend that had to use Japanese XP and use it because of the 3D acceleration versus VirtualBox.
-
-
-
-
Yup I have it installed under virtualbox and run it fairly often to play older games.
I dont get on many sites either so those are still fairly supported with mypal browser (fuck palemoon devs) so its still useable for me.
So I spend a decent amount of time in it playing games and reading this site and a few others. -
atms and other vending machines probably still run on it so most probably

I still use Windows XP Pro SP2 64bit to used for internet and LULZ only. Updated my old 4GB to 16GB DDR3 1866 of memory for dirt cheap from Ebay less then $25.00. My computer run on 4 core AMD-R8 5500B 3.2Ghz. apu chip which run very low watt and very low sound from the fan. Did you know you can still activated new Windows XP OEM or Retail key that never been used that i what i did few month back on my old new updated computer so what i did was call the 1 800 number from Microsoft and it was so easy to do. Living like King in 2021 on Windows XP with No Update, no crashing, no bot, and the best part i have freedom of used in Windows XP with No Bullshit.

Windows XP come with Interix subsystem and Windows Services for UNIX which implement POSIX.
I wonder if it is possible to compile WINE in that environment to run Windows 7 and Windows 10 software in a wineprefix on top of Windows XP.
I know attempts to compile WINE with MinGW always failed but maybe is a better approach than kernel extensions -
So if i run win xp on a vm i won’t get virus injected into my host pc like what people told me?

You won’t get a virus injected into your pc even if you run it on metal as long as you use Common Sense: Current Year Edition while online.

For all the fanfare about XP being extremely unsafe and out of date, did anyone ever actually get hit with a virus or any actual hacking?

Someone with mimikatz could extract and crack your password in a day since LM hashes are still a thing in xp
