Well to be fair, windows 7 shits all over xp..
>>53787927
It wasn't as good as Windows ME
Because it was the OS you grew up with in your teenager years, when life was better because you had no real worries and most importantly, you had hope.
Now you feel old, bitter and unhappy. Nostalgia is just a cheat to drag your worthless self through your boring life. You aren't happy and you will never be.

This
It was pretty comfy.
Going to use the XP patch extension tricks and give my friend an E8400 PC to use, because he's using a P4-era Celeron.
>>53788010
Why not quit being retarded and just install POSReady 2009?
>>53770990
XP can't find the wifi on my 6 yrs old slow laptop (2gig memory).
I even tried the Black version, without any success.
Unfortunately I can only use the wifi...
>>53787980
Careful with that edge, fampalampa! ;)
>>53788058
S'what I'm talking about, mang. That qualifies as an extension trick for a "dead" OS in my book.
>>53787927
BOTNET
Windows is spying since XP.
If you want a Windows without botnet, you need to go at least down to Windows 2000.
Every windows OS until 8 was made by competent programmers and not poo-in-the-loos
Every windows OS until 8 had a good design
Every windows OS until 10 had real designers
>>53788261
I thought you were talking about setting XP up for POSReady 2009 updates

What is /g/'s opinion on tweaked XPs, like Black and Gold Edition?
Are they legit and / or safe?
Have you guys ever tried them?
>>53789231
That screenshot looks like shit.
My old laptop looks better.
>>53787980
Good thing my teenage years were shit through and through.
Now is the time life has no real worries.
WHAT A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE!
>pic related, my comfort level
>>53787927
It also sucks because you need SP3 to use modern encryption over wifi. How long before it won't support the next thing?
>>53789231
It looks like a hobo peed on your OS.
>>53789344
The Black Edition is clean and simple.
I like minimalism.

I'm partial to 98se when it comes to nostalgia trips but xp is pretty dang comfy.

windows vista was pretty comfy, install both service packs, dx11 and it's not hugely different to windows 7
>>53789461
Shit like this is why I refuse to help anyone with their PC, ever. It's always retards like this that have dumbass problems.

Too bad it's getting it's support dropped next year.

I like this thread, yet I'm on Linux.
Where is your god now?
>>53787927
- Explorer has proper hitboxes that don't drive you insane with inconsistent behavior
- It doesn't randomly spike HDD utilization to 100%
- It's actually fluid instead of feeling like the sluggish whore that everything since Vista has been despite performance improvements

Win + S, nigga.
Am I better off running POSReady 2009 in VirtualBox or VMWare?
That is, assuming that letting the VM access more than 1 core provides a tangible benefit.
>>53791790
Sure, why not? XP is one of the friendliest OS at being running in a VM.
>>53792574
You should reread the post
vista was comfier you're just some 16 year old who thinks vaporwave is cool
>>53792703
XP wasn't vaporware, what are you talking about?
>>53787927
XP is when windows was at it's high point.
For Ubuntu I think it hit it's high point with 9.04 and 10.04

I ended up going with VBox anyway. It's working well. Making adjustments now to smooth it out.
>>53789389
>no tidus
Not even trying
>>53787927
>Why?
Because NT5 is last kernel that gives direct access to hardware.
And every windows after XP was a bloated pile of dogshit
>>53789461
Edgy as fuck
Loving POSReady 2009 in a VBox. It's pretty snappy with some tweaks, almost like the real thing.
>>53787980
watch the edge son you're going to get cut.
>>53793947
>Because NT5 is last kernel that gives direct access to hardware
How is that different with NT6 and NT10?
>>53787927
because you were 12.
>>53787980
lol, if you actually feel this way you may have depression and should see your doctor.
plenty of people are happy their whole lives. just have to find something fulfilling to keep doing. takes all forms maybe you havent found it
or maybe you're a crybaby who needs to get off you ass and get some exercise and see a doctor about some new happy pills.
>>53789416
>>53795775
What kind of tweaks can you do to XP to make it better/faster?
Can you share methods to reduce OS footprint and improve workflow?

>OpenOffice on Windows
This has to be bait.
>>53787927
I never used XP for more than a week, jumped to 7 from 98.
When I realised 7 was garbage I moved to GNU/Linux

I always loved a lot of the XP Visual Styles that were out there, there may be 2000 GTK themes for Linux but none of them are any good.
>>53800968
You know, people give a lot of shit to Microsoft for the shitty UI, and I don't blame them, but Windows is customizable as hell if you really know how to.
>>53787927
OP here, I just started using Windows 10 and I can say it's easily more comfy then XP.
>>53802757
Real OP here: I'm on Lubuntu.
But I really do like Windows XP, it's very comfy.
In fact, I'm considering to use it again.
