Just wonder why the UI is so fucking ugly. Tech definitely was on point to create a decent looking UI (or at least a proper color scheme) rather than the heavy blue colours. And the olive/silver theme was even worse.

>>59295446
At least upgrade to Service Pack 3!

This shit came out, then everyone in the PC space became obsessed with pushing its ideas into everything and making computing more "colorful".

Obviously there was plenty of gaudy shit happening before then (just look at the abominable screenshots on xwinman for an example of the god awful shit autists in the '90s thought looked cool and different) but this bullshit kicked it into overdrive.

win 7 is the only tolerable modern iteration (pic related). though for actually getting shit done, comfy lignux distros like ubuntu (and most of the flavours), opensuse, fedora, and mint, absolutely destroy windows.

btw, it's fucking insane to use win xp as a daily driver in this day and age. i get nostalgia, i do. i love tinkering with windows 3.1 and BeOS on this old hitachi notebook i have laying around, but to use it as your regular OS is mind-blowingly stupid from a security standpoint at the very least.

The terminal is very neat and clean, the attendants all very attractive, the pilots very capable. The fleet of Learjets the carrier operates is immense. Your jet takes off without a hitch, pushing above the clouds, and at 20,000 feet it explodes without warning.

Has anyone taken up the torch of maintaining Windows XP? Especially in the way of software compatibility as more and more software devs are no longer supporting WinXP (as it's nearing adulthood, will turn 18 in 2019)

>>59297190
>There are airports still running Windows 3.11 in their systems
So? They're not using them because they like the system, they're using them because it stood the test of time and all bugs have been ironed out. It would be stupid to update a system that already werks in that environment

For daily use, using anything below 7 is just autism

>But two years after XP’s support demise, nearly 11% of all personal computers continue to run the OS
>China has an even bigger XP problem according to Baidu, the PRC’s largest search provider. Data from Baidu pegged XP’s share of the country’s OS market at 31.6% for March, a significant decline from 44.1% a year ago but still almost a third of all PC OSes.
