How about PoSready2009 updates? Anyone ever had problems after installing them in standard XP?

>Build date: 2017/02/11

What? they made the update for XP to fix the SMB issue three months ago?

Must be frustrating to be the poor dev tasked with maintaining the XP codebase and backporting fixes to that. Microsoft probably has some other WinXP support contracts running for big organizations that pay for it too.

Then again, maybe it's some 50 year old veteran dev that developed XP in the first place and he's ok with that.

Some versions are still updated with patches, so there

The patch
http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4012598

Incompetent MS retards. You need to download it, I didn't get nothing through updates.

>>60365696
This patch came out in Patch Tuesday for POSReady, it's identical to this patch.

There are patches for other languages.
Use http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/ in Internet Explorer. Requires ActiveX.

>>60366119
The update catalog actually doesn't require ActiveX anymore. Try downloading a file with Firefox/Chrome, you get a popup with a link to the download.

>>60366275
See >>60366193

This was recently changed. They finally dropped that ridiculous requirement.

>>60365476
Start working idiot millennial snowflake.
Many computers use XP because many run their own old customized software for simple tasks.
I recall trying update to win 7 some computers at work and got tons compatibility problems.
Some companies also use XP because they use cheap equipment, out in the industry there are still computers with 128 and 256 of RAM which can only handle XP and older, that's common when there are small companies that need 1.000's of computers running 24/7 doing basic but specific tasks.
Haven't you noticed most of the 10.000s reports come mostly from businesses rather than home users?

>>60366275
>>60366301
I was joking about IE6. It is practically considered "malware" these days.

>>60366321
So is ActiveX, and so should Flash, Silverlight and Java desu

>>60366301
>This was recently changed
In fact this has changed since the end of XP support

>>60366345
Only Java in the browser.

>>60366320
Companies like that should be nuked into oblivion. If they are such fucking jews that they can't be bothered to upgrade their fucking system once in a decade they deserve to be ransomwared into hell.

>>60366208
not relevant since xp still gets updates?

>to get the CZ version you need to use IE because MS devs are complete retards and the site only switched language based on an activex addon, in other browsers you get only English

No it fucking doesn't, I know it personally.

>>60366634
Try to download it through IE.

also disable antivirus

If Microsoft had issued the patch earlier it would have mitigated the main source of the malware.

>>60366675
If they issued the patch for XP since lots of people and companies are still using it. They should just sue MS.

>>60366618

>>60366675
Coincidentally they postpone Patch Tuesday which never fucking happens, ever.
Coincidentally..

>>60366720
It's only this patch which you need to install manually because it didn't get through automatic updates (at least for me).

>>60366675
If Microsoft had issued Windows 10 digital licenses to Windows XP users like they did with 7 and 8/8.1, I wouldn't have been hit by this shit, either.

>>60366825
You dense motherfucker. Windows XP had a longer life than any of your Applel operating systems ever did.
Fuck off.

>>60366802
People use XP because it just works and because they don't want to reinstall everything. Also drivers.

>>60366749
so theres still been manual patches for XP for some time? idk i stopped using it on all but my old celeron laptop

>>60366892
Only for companies who pay Microsoft big $$$

I hope more ransomware using NSA exploits comes to punish these people.

>>60366854
It's really businesses that are sticking to windows XP, people have mostly moved on. Businesses just don't see enough reason to throw out working computers and there's a lot of software that strictly requires windows XP.

>>60365476
>>60365825
>>60366320
If you bought some expensive piece of hardware like an x-ray machine that only works with Windows XP then you're simply not able to upgrade and there's also a lot of specialized hardware (yeah, ATMs actually are a real example) that will only work on it.

It's kind of scary how much heavy industrial equipment actually runs off very old software. But I also see why, if you've used the exact same setup for 5 years and there's never been a problem with it and it just works then why would you tinker with it and risk it breaking?

>>60366320
>most of the 10.000s reports come mostly from businesses
This doesn't only have to do with them running old and outdated Windows versions. This particular worm spreads through the file sharing service on local networks. Home users don't tend to have huge local area networks with hundreds or thousands of computers on them.

>>60366075
MS just issues them the POSReady 2009 ones anyway

Probably the only reason that version even exists, otherwise they would not bother

>>60366553
you're the jew, some tasks don't need the latest equipment

>>60365813
A non-retarded programmer (aka not a Pajeet) would find the XP codebase much more cleaner than the mess that is Win10

>>60366926
damn, I loved XP, i wonder why they didn't just update it time after time.

>tfw firefox and chrome on XP/Vista are dead

>>60366967
Maybe people should stop buying equipment that the manufacturer won't maintain? It's unacceptable.

>>60366009
Try installing the en-us language pack

>>60366990
Because they want people to buy new OS. They know significant number of people are still using it but they deliberately didn't want to support it to force them to upgrade.
>>60366998
>not using older FF version
I'm using 36 and works fine.

>tfw XP SP2
>patch is only for 64bit version

>>60366998
Firefox still works for the moment Mozilla just moved XP(and Vista) users to ESR so they'll be protected but they wont get newer features.

The patches are identical to the ones for POSReady and WES which you can get from Windows Update Catalog manually (any browser works):

Firefox ESR will stop supporting XP on September 2017.

>>60366553
Are you retarded?

>>60366967
Vendors like that should be required to open-source their XP drivers if they don't want to support more recent operating systems. That way companies can port the drivers to win7/10, rather than being forced to stay with XP forever.

>>60367040
Has Mozilla decided on that yet? I thought they were still debating about what to do with XP/Vista users.

There is no need for them to upgrade.
For example, you have a cashier or a secretary, they need a computer at their station, but they will be using it solely for a custom software for basic math of basic text info management.
What kind of device will you get? A cheap one or a modern one?
cheap hardware can't handle modern OS, so why would you expend more money on hardware just to expend more money on a better OS? That's inefficient,
It's like getting a modern PC just to play tetris.

>>60366553
Try running your own business with new shit filled to the brim with unncessary features and see if you'll make money.

Windows catalog is down :(

>>60367020
p[ayed update. If 7/8/10 didnt remove functionality that xp had and also had lower system requirements i bet it would have sold. I get why they didnt though

>>60367268
A lot of old computers are not even connected to the internet to begin with. Some are connected to a LAN but the only connection to the outside world is the people who use and maintain them. Some of these computers use software that is even older than XP.

>>60367292
yeah its slow as shit right now but loads eventually (try changing to https links)

>>60367292
refresh and open it in every browser you have or just tell what OS and language you need

Then install SP3? And the patch is also available for 32bit

>>60367809
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/
Also SP2 lost some backward compatibility and the 64bit version is utterly useless and 32bit don't support pae.

>>60367925
There is a hack that adds support for PAE to the 32-bit version, actually. It's pretty neat.

Not unusual, since POSReady is still under support

>reenable updates on xp
>svchost takes 50% cpu all the time

>>60368336
That is not intended to be used by regular people it's meant for like cash registers. This is the first patch that Microsoft has issued to ALL versions of XP in 3 years.

>>60368365
Only Windows Server 2003 is mildly suprising

The problem is highly serious, and since Microsoft still have to support POSReady 2009 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard, they figured they can gain some publicity doing this. They are a business after all

>>60368424
>meant for cash registers
Only on paper. In actual fact it is just another custom-stripped XP with POS for .Net 1.12 and FBWF

>>60367963

Can't search for KB4012598 in windows catalog. It returns an error.

>>60368455
Which arent even enabled! I use the OS for games and don't have compatibility problems, it rocks.

>>60371364
You can actually enable application compatibility mode in POS2009 by getting the "slayerxp.dll" from an XP or Server2k3 install and then registering it. You can also source it from service packs but you have to use the expand command on the file first because they're compressed by default.

businesses that run EOL shitware are usually trash tier establishments that aren't worth mentioning anyway

If you chose to deploy a proprietary solution and have one ounce of respect for yourself as a business you would never be running EOL software on devices that require sec patches

He would be lucky if that's the case, I remember I once had to re-install windows because just changing the language in the settings wasn't enough to get an English version of windows.

All that for a piece of software designed to get you connected to the internet over USB.

Back then NTL still existed - ah, good old days.

>>60366553

Some equipment is no longer made. You can make a lot of money by having one of the last running instances of a specialized machine.

There isn't enough demand to start production of new models, but there is more than enough to support the businesses that still have the old hardware up and running.

Alas, many of these old beasts require very specific systems for control; some require specific patch levels of XP, or in some cases old PPC macs running OS9.
