The Historian 516 April 30, 2019 Share April 30, 2019 No, no, no, no and FUCKING NO. XP is a pile of garbage that lasted way too long. It had the security of a wet paper bag and was so insecure that it's laughable. NZG | RA2M | BBPCG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadae 655 January 9, 2020 Share January 9, 2020 I still have an old laptop that runs XP to play some old games on, but for the most part, I enjoy the modern operating systems far more simply due to how much better they work with modern software and hardware. ❤︎ Octavia ❤︎ • Art Thread • DeviantArt • Twitch • Twitter • Steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it always you that bring me into/remind me of my Windows obsession!? Windows 2000 was more stylish and had a big impact. But Windows XP had the speed and support that Windows 2000 just couldn't keep up with! Edited January 9, 2020 by Splashee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Melody 6,188 January 9, 2020 Share January 9, 2020 I miss 3D buttons. Win 10 doesn't have that, it's all "arty farty" flat ... Loved XP, hated Vista. But grew to like Vista, especially the semi-transparent windows style. Hated Win 10 (I skipped everything in between), but have since got used to it. I still have my first laptop with XP on (and have been given another one! So now I've got two), and another with Vista on, that one also has all my old Visual Basic projects that won't compile on Win 10 so is rather essential that I preserve it. 1 REDWINGS HORSE SANCTUARY www.redwings.org.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Melody 6,188 January 9, 2020 Share January 9, 2020 If we're going right back, I can remember Windows 3, was the first I'd used. Then we got Windows 95 (at work, but was a Beta so could use it at home), I still think it had the best Windows search I've ever used. I'm sure it could search contents of files even tho they didn't have the more familiar text file extensions. Later windows wouldn't unless they "looked like" text files. In fact I copied that search window for use in one of my programs and I still use that part of it now even in Windows 10! 1 REDWINGS HORSE SANCTUARY www.redwings.org.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Melody 6,188 January 9, 2020 Share January 9, 2020 Yes briefly! Might still have it somewhere, not sure. Here, just for giggles, a screen grab of my Windows 95 lookalike search box – written (and not necesarily terribly well) with Visual Basic 5.0 (1997) : This thing is used almost daily I use it for updating backups and moving files between different computers. 2 REDWINGS HORSE SANCTUARY www.redwings.org.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToastedScone 397 January 30, 2020 Share January 30, 2020 YES OH MY GOD IT WAS SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING?? I love XP, even if it is outdated; my old primary school still uses it though, haha 1 𝔗𝔥𝔢𝔯𝔢'𝔰 𝔞𝔩𝔴𝔞𝔶𝔰 𝔬𝔭𝔭𝔬𝔯𝔱𝔲𝔫𝔦𝔱𝔶 𝔱𝔬 𝔡𝔬 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔣𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔫𝔡𝔩𝔶 𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔤! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentium100 2,122 January 30, 2020 Share January 30, 2020 I still have XP on a couple of devices. Viliv N5 UMPC has 1GB or RAM and while it could run 7, it would be too slow (kinda is slow with XP, but at least usable) and the last time I tried, Linux was not stable on it. I think it should be normal to not connect a Windows PC to the internet without a router or firewall. I don't think that MS will ever be able to fix the RPC service security.

Sunamena 426 January 31, 2020 Share January 31, 2020 When we say: "I miss Windows XP." Do we mean: "I miss the operating system." Or do we mean: "I miss the memories made on it." > MSN Messenger > Skype > Some ancient game called Maplestory. Not technically Windows XP specific but meh. 2 Pony Master Quest.

Wasp Child 38 January 31, 2020 Share January 31, 2020 I have good memories of Windows 95, XP, and 7. XP was a great OS for its time, ngl. I'm with bronywhocodes, though, get a distro of Linux with customation options that make it look like old Windows OSes. As great as they looked, you wouldn't really want to go back to them.

RavenholmZombie 1,330 February 18, 2020 Share February 18, 2020 I like most of the older version of Windows, from XP to 7 (RIP Windows 7). If I'm feeling nostalgic, I'll boot up Windows XP in a virtual machine and, I don't know, play some Space Cadet 3D Pinball. Recently, I've been toying more with Windows 7 since Microsoft just killed it off not too long ago. RavenholmZombie - Brony since 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixonTheAdversary 1,632 February 18, 2020 Share February 18, 2020 I never really had Windows XP, so I don't miss it much. I had Windows Vista/7 more than XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
