Does sombody still use Win XP?

Probably the shittiest OS ever made.

>>57293145
I do. I use an XP VM on Linux host

I have XP Professional on my garage computer, since windows 7 would be too bloated for that PC. it even receives security updates since I applied the POSReady 2009 registry hack.

>>57293156
>im 14 years old and my first OS was Windows 7

There are still people and companies out there with Unix machines from the '70s and '80s so yes, there is probably at least one XP user alive on this planet.

this. All Windows NT versions before and after were miles better

There were a lot of people here who though that win7 was a massive turd and swore that they'd keep using XP because it was "the last good windows" or whatever. I sometimes whonder if they're still using XP.

Same thing is happening with windows 7 right now.

>>57293160
>virtual machine windows xp
At this point you could dual boot nerd

>>57293145
I still use it once in a while on my old workshop PC. My aunt uses it still, because I haven't bothered to upgrade her to 7 and she wouldn't want to learn something new and different that's exactly the same.

>>57293204
Why?

I use it at work on an old Dell Pentium 4 machine because I have to manage our legacy domain.

>>57293203
Well I agree that XP and 7 are the best. Wish I could go back.

My satellite and television server still runs XP.
It's not internet connected, and I have no reason to upgrade it.

>>57293145
A lot of business computers in my country (the Philippines) are still using Windows XP or, hell, Windows 9x/NT/2000 (especially cash registers, ATMs, the library system in my college library, a couple of internet cafes, electronic billboards, etc.) but there are companies and small businesses that are switching from Windows XP to either Linux (mostly Ubuntu or some donkey distro created by a local computer company) or Windows 7/10.

Most consumers/home computers, however, are using either Windows 7, Windows 8.x or Windows 10 (pirated, of course).

>>57293262
Same here in America. Majority of our ATM's, which by the way use the 50-year-old magnetic stripe technology instead of the modern "chip" like every other country in the world, still run XP.

>>57293281
>>57293262
if it ain't broke, don't fix it

>>57293203
I'm still using Windows 7 only because I'm waiting for Kaby Lake (I'm buying a new computer soon) and Windows 10 is pretty expensive here. If I buy $1000 worth of parts from a local computer company, they (the local computer company) will give me Windows 10 for free.

Same here in the UK too, Anon. Gaming machines at bookmakers all run on Windows 2000/XP as well.

Basically XP was the first Windows that was stable, at least that's what people remember. In reality Windows 2000 had that down 2 years prior. XP just added the shitty theme and fast user switching.

100% true, Anon. All of the US Army and Navy software is legacy. The US Government paid millions of dollars to Microsoft for extended support for it.

>>57293203
I think you have 7 mistaken for Vista. A lot of people liked 7 right away. Vista struggled to get any marketshare because of its poor hardware support and higher system requirements. A lot of computers advertised as "Vista Ready" at the time were not actually compatible with Vista, at least not without an upgrade. Once the issue with hardware was worked out and systems sold with Vista were actually compatible with it the OS became decent but by that time no one was interested in it. 7 came later and was basically a repackaged Vista but this time systems were actually capable of running it.

Windows XP was my first OS since we only got a computer around 2003.
Just the right time for 4Chan.

>>57294404
Also the reason why WES09 and WEPOS2009 is based off XP.

I still run XP on my netbook. The netbook doesn't get used for anything besides porn anymore though.

>>57294435
Embedded and Point of Sale machines are just rarely upgraded. If Microsoft didn't give these machines newer software they'd probably continue to use whatever they already do, probably like windows 2000 or NT4 or whatever was available at the time they were sold.

>>57294502
My point is that they did not base it off vista even though it is made a year after Vista's release. The thing is there is XPe and WEPOS 1.1 which are also based off XP but instead of extending support for them( they ended support in april-may 2016), they made newer versions of it based of the same OS which end support in 2019, only a year before Windows 7's EOS. In contrast Windows 7 and 8 all have their respective embedded editions, with the exception of WES for 8.1.

>>57294659

I wish I could upgrade to Windows 7 but the manufacturer of this shitty notebook didn't drivers for it. I have tested Windows 7 on this notebook for a while but there came frequently unexpected blue screens. On Windows Vista it works like a charm, but the support of Windows Vista will end next year.

NT, 2000, XP and 7 were the only "good" versions of Windows. There isn't much incentive to use XP over 7 unless you have a legacy machine, and even then, it can likely run 7.

I do keep XP dual-booted on my laptop though. It's easier than trying to configure Wine for gaming. All I really use it for is to play The Sims.

If there is no such option, integrate the driver into the DVD image through slipstreaming. Find the AHCI drivers by searching your computer model or motherboard model.

If I want to run XP right now what's the best way? Actual XP ISO or some embedded one?

Literally pirate it with KMSpico. Be sure to get an enterprise ISO (not N or LTSB) so that you can disable at least most of telemetry and whatever other bs. Better yet, install debian testin and join the enlightened.

Best way is to use Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, unless you need tablet/media center features. Download the iso from MS and the key is... somewhere.

Just as >>57296846 says basically.

No point fannying about with updating base or custom XP ISOs when you can get the free download right on their website.
Just need to patch it with a key or such.

And, as always, use your common sense and absolutely disable and lock down everything in Internet Options and Services.
90% of all malware comes from the fact people never locked down Internet Options and Services.
Internet Options allows for so much bullshit to run. Disabling every zone as much as possible stops that.
The rest is service shit enabled and still not patched despite PoS updates.
One half of that 5% is idiots running blatantly stupid shit like hotgirls.mp4.exe.
That other 5% is government and intelligence agency hacks, or zero days that most times even affect current OS versions. (usually hardware hacks that even affect Linux)

Running shit in sandboxes will prevent most issues, even running viruses deliberately.
Sandboxie is very handy for this. Not only that, it lets you have multiple installs of the same program, makes programs portable, kills date-based and file-based trialware and others.
Sandboxie has also been made idiot proof by preventing you from running things from explorer if you browse the sandbox.
