DATA BREACH LEVEL: MAXIMUM
I still regularly visit customers that use Windows XP
Like, as a daily driver, for specific uses, or both?
I run a CNC machine which requires XP for the control program. The only other option was DOS. We installed it via floppy
i have several clients with xp, or even older, in similar roles. i keep a couple old desktops (slot 1 celeron, anyone?) at the office just in case they need a replacement.
Entertaining human written read.
But if I’m going to be that reckless, I’d rather feel the forbidden joy of riding my motorcycle sans helmet!
Relevant XKCD comic immediately popped into my mind
That final frame brought up some repressed memories. It was not a great time to be in a tech support call center; the queues never ended.
Are there any modern web browsers that still work on XP?
So a fork of an older version of Firefox? I will allow it. Beats IE6!
Hey, I like to live dangerously! I still have a Windows XP ISO (yes, it’s pirated come at me micro$oft) I use to make virtual machines in VirtualBox from time to time.
Same, except its a legit pro license and I slip-streamed all of the last updates including the windows POS updates and firefox into an unofficial service pack 4 for convenience.
@thingsiplay why are you reducing every comment I post? I can see you’re doing them all at once via my profile…
I run XP on my Dell E510 (with good capacitors! ). I love revisiting some of my old games that just don’t hit the same on modern Win. Battlezone II, Battlefield 1942, Rollercoaster Tycoon.
