WHY DID YOU LEAVE US
>>54285259
never did
>>54285259
>he still uses a 32 bit system
Enjoy getting cucked in 20 years.
>>54285259
You don't know shit about Russia. Stop spreading lies you worthless sack of potatoes.
>>54285259
Inferior to Windows 7 in every way, stop being a nostalgic idiot.
>>54285286
there's more 64bit versions of XP than 32bit versions
>>54285310
>15% faster in most respects to Win7
>greater legacy support
>drastically reduced memory footprint
>far lighter
Win7 is better, yes, but not in every way.
>>54285259
>WHY DID YOU LEAVE US
It never did, it just got a new name
>>54285437
nice umpc =)
is it a ux?
>>54285450
Thanks and yeah

Longhorn 4039,you dumbass.
>>54285546
>Vista on a device with 512MB RAM and a ULV Core Solo
Yeah that sounds like a wonderful idea
>>54285573
>ULV Core Solo
That's a P4 HT you dingus.
And 512MB works fine because it's built on XP/Server 2003 codebase,you illiterate.
>>54285587
>That's a P4 HT you dingus.
I was talking about my machine you dingus. I thought you were saying to install that instead
>And 512MB works fine because it's built on XP/Server 2003 codebase,you illiterate.
And it's also an unsupported beta build, a terrible idea for an OS you actually use you bumbling fucking moron
it was such shit
a slower windows 2000 with a retarded theme
second worst version after 7 (adjusted for times)
>>54285609
>And it's also an unsupported beta build, a terrible idea for an OS you actually use you bumbling fucking moron
I still use Longhorn and have no problem surfing the internet. I have 4074 installed on a plain P4 2.8GHz Northwood,and that's with 512MB. Get the fuck out,fuckshit,you clearly know nothing about Windows you dumb shitting Linuxfag asshole.
>>54285546
Why is your system info in pig latin?
>>54285689
>I still use Longhorn and have no problem surfing the internet
Congratulations, I don't give a shit.
>I have 4074 installed on a plain P4 2.8GHz Northwood,and that's with 512MB
Good for you! I'll stick with POSReady 2009, you know, an OS that is actually a final product and receives security updates.
>>54285730
M$'s idea. I tried later builds and they either report Windows .NET Server 2003 build 4066 or Windows Code Name "Longhorn" (4074 and later)
>>54285756
>Good for you! I'll stick with POSReady 2009, you know, an OS that is actually a final product and receives security updates
Congratulations on having such a piece of shit machine that can't even run 7. Seriously,kill yourself and get a better notebook,even the Acer Aspire One is better than your utter piece of garbage. Anyways,enjoy the slowest piece of shit you have. At least try Windows Home Server,if you like such shit.
>>54285789
That's not a notebook dumbass and there are no modern devices to replace it. It does just fine as it is. Why do you give a shit what hardware I use? It in no way affects you at all. More importantly, why should I needlessly upgrade from something I'm content with?
>>54285789
>can't even run 7

In your last post you told me to upgrade my notebook, quit acting like you know everything you goddamned faggot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNXzMBA9VU4
>>54285853
And why don't you upgrade it then? Quit trying to hide the fact that your machine is shit. It is shit,and will forever be shit.
>>54285907
Why the hell would I? I just bought it a few months ago.
>>54285922
>Core Solo

Proves how much of a piece of shit you are. Even MBPs are better than your shit.
>>54285868
>tfw you'll never install XP ever again
>>54285955
Anon, you're a fucking moron. It's not my only portable device, I have laptops and netbooks in addition to that thing.
>>54285310
what did win 7 "provide" over XP - they're both GUIS microsoft has tried to elevate the GUI above anything. microsoft made the GUI an issue. They haven't even settled on a design (in decades). The fact that a good deal of people are still running XP highlights the failure of microsoft. They have provided nothing above
>>54285974
>I have laptops and netbooks in addition to that thing.
And why the fuck do you not use anything else than this Core Solo? Really,Core Solo is obsolete,unless you got the machine second hand,which explains quite a lot.
>>54286001
>And why the fuck do you not use anything else than this Core Solo?
Feel free to link me to the post where I said this is the only computer I use.
>Really,Core Solo is obsolete,unless you got the machine second hand
Anon it's a 10 year old computer that I bought two months ago, of course it's second hand you twat
>>54285837
>can't even run glorious master race aero
>it's beyond shit
but it can. I just usually disable it because it is unnecessary visual fluff that does nothing but take up space and slow down the machine.
>>54285955
>>54285907
There exists no modern equivalent of the ux. Everything else is either twice the size, a different architecture, or a different form factor. It's a fun toy and nothing more.
>>54286001
why do you even care?
>>54285868
screaming xp inside
>>54285259
B-but you left me
Just threw ( a working hp desktop running xp 512mb ram 60gb hdd and had some sort of nvidia 2000? Graphics card ) into the bin a week ago.
>>54288098
YOU MONSTER
>>54288100
Thankyou.If i could of given it away i would have, but in this tumbleweed bumfuck one horse town where nobody's even heard of a bitcoin there wasn't a demand for it. I'm leaving,with a backpack,so nostalgic desktops aren't an item i can carry.
>>54285259
i wish microsoft on improving xp like apple does with os x instead of feeling like they need to come up with new shit every few years.
>>54285259
Windows XP isn't dead, I'm still receiving updates for it through POS2009 and paid corporate update module too. I didn't pay for it, I used my company's windows update module.
I dual boot windows xp and windows 7. Windows 7 will be dying in a few years too...
>>54288181
Is that how banks survive using xp?
Walk past atm,see its at default xp screen. I just thought wtf? XP on atms in 2015
>>54288235
Yessir, they pay Microsoft a royalty to send those machines updates. The POS ready OS is what's on them by default or are still getting paid updates from Microshit.
>>54288235
it's 2017 anon
It's still perfectly usable.
>>54288282
Funny shit,thanks for the info
>>54288283
It was 2015 when i saw the atm with an xp screen "tah dah"
Why do people seriously think that taking POS2009 updates protects them?
The systems that POS2009 is designed for are extremely limited in functionality and no way are intended for a fully fledged networked computer.
>>54288296

I love win XP's image viewer, it plays gifs unlike win 7's image viewer.
>>54288591
I don't know if it's just my computer, but they play really laggy.
>>54288572
>over 640KB ram
>>54285259
fucking worse operating system ever if you ever used it for other than gayming, constant crashes, literary couldn't run more than 3 programs at the same time
>>54288591
there's an update that fixed it in 7
>>54288817
Oh, that explains everything. I never updated it because it's a pirate copy, I don't want to risk anything.
Would anyone here kill me if I said that I use xp sp3, and have been so for the last 10 or so years, which is how old my current desktop is.
My appreciation for technology doesn't come from owning it, but rather wishing that I did
>poorfag indeed
>>54289656
I can relate to this senpai...
>>54289855
To the part where I use xp sp3? or the love for tech? Either way, I'm not one to complain, but I do check /bst/ a lot because of my jealousy, but I'm too much of a lazy fuck to learn something that'll make me earn decently
>>54289928
Both, sorry for not speaking clearly.
I love watching and seeingnew tech, but I can almost never afford it; it's almost like the waifu thing those guys over at /a/ do - they can only admire the girls but never touch them.
>>54289968
couldn't put it better myself, hopefully one of us, better if both, can ever achieve anything in orded to find happiness. godspeed senpai
>>54290000
Huh?
We're both gonna make it, anon; don't be so negative.
>>54290062
Yeah I guess I shouldn't be...
I've been thinking about learning to program, but I can't decide the language, I just wanna self-teach myself because that's how I learn better
>>54290106
>self-teach myself
I brainfarted pretty hard there
Because it was dated, not intuitive, and a mess of vulnerabilities and mis-mashed permission management?
Vista and the shift to UAC was better than XP, despite its flaws.
>>54285412
>irrelevant with modern hardware
>irrelevant because of modern computing advances
>irrelevant because of modern hardware
>irrelevant because of modern hardware
The measure of an operating system in the 21st century is not how well it runs the applications from, and on the hardware from the previous century.
XP is a dinosaur, and Vista was better.

You have to be seriously retarded to use WinXP as your main os in @CURRENTYEAR

>Not nearly as stable as 7 and later

Seriously guys. I loved it too a decade ago but it's time to move on. Embedded is a good option if you use your system for very little things but for a fully working PC you need to get another OS.
>>54291027
but it's time to let go
>>54291075
I have no choice - I don't like Linux and my computer can't run a newer version of Linux.
You would have certificate problems if you kept using Chrome, anyway. For example, if you try visiting the /g/ wiki, which uses the "Let's Encrypt" SSL, you won't be able to access it unless you use Firefox.
It's a shitty experience but I'm not going to update any time soon.
>>54291155
what's your hardware exactly?
>>54291194
a C2D with a gig of RAM and an internal VIA gpu
Windows 7 and 8.1 just crash during install.
>>54291155
>a newer version of Linux
s/Linux/Windows/
>>54291243
A light DE will run nicely on that hardware. I have an old memempad t60 I use as a HTPC in my kid's room. It's a 1.6Ghz C2D with 1,5 GiB of RAM running Ubuntu MATE 32-bit. It works way better than XP or 7.
MATE Tweak makes it look like Windows and WINE can make up for whatever Windows-only software you need.
You could dual-boot and see if it works for you.
>>54291359
Wouldn't Lubuntu work better?
Anyway, I'll try both Mate and Lubuntu in dual boot, and pick whichever runs better.
Thanks.
>>54291155
Why wouldn't you just buy better hardware?
You could buy a better computer for less than $100 through a classified ad
>>54291495
Because it works just fine with XP.
>>54291495
I'm not american though.
Computers are more expensive here, and I'm kinda poor anyway.
I AM saving up money though..
>>54291553

>>54291605
Macedonia, senpai.
>>54285259
Had to leave, it became unstable and I like games. Switched for 8, panicked, switched for 7, raged, switched for 8.1.
Still not XP but at least it work.
XP was shit. Nostalgic slackware masterrace.
>>54290106
If you're going to teach yourself to program you're probably going to need to get a better computer (for compiling)
Holy shit do you people even remember XP? It was awful, nothing ever worked, every day you had to update it because it had some security flaw, because they let Indians work on it without any supervision. Sure it was light, but if you want a light system, install Arch and XFCE or something.
I do not miss the days of XP at all. I do feel nostalgia, but I don't need much of reminiscence to remember what it was actually like. 10 years and they never finished it.
>>54291947
>install Arch
>>54291673
And how are your non animated backgrounds treating you, anon?
>>54291947
XP was fine
>>54291453
Lubuntu works worse than XP, don't bother.
xp is still good for my needs
>>54294973
oh SHUT THE FUCK UP
>>54295790
hes not wrong though
lubuntu is shit, its ubuntu + more bloat disguised as being lightweight because it uses lxde
honestly, mint + windowmaker is your best bet for a debian based distro with minimal resource usage for normies
for non-normies, arch/gentoo/slackware + any tiling window manager
>>54291027
This is nice
>>54291243
Lubuntu really isn't as light as people like to imply and neither is MATE, If you want a light linux experience unfortunately you have to do it yourself with a minimal install of a distro of your choice + XFCE or a WM but that's far more time consuming.
While you should move away from winblows the truth is POSready runs better than ALL *buntu forks (even xubuntu-core) on 1GB of ram.
Also I'm not an archfag/weeb/furry, just a faggot who wasted way too much time on this shit and wants to save you the effort.

if the network is setup correctly they're not directly connected

I'd imagine they're taking improper networks into account.
itt: spoiled millennials with ADD
>>54288551
Eh? Windows POS is just a different SKU of XP with more install options to remove stuff not needed to slim the size down. It is for single function systems like terminals not office computers. They are certainly network and often internet connected though.
Im designing a Windows XP launcher theme for Android.
Had to re-make all the shell sprites myself since the original sprites were too low res.
Thoughts?

Once you rule out Windows because Windows, it's just a matter of preference and use case.
>>54297777
Except there is no use case for OSX where as Windows still has plenty. I'd rather rule out OSX because OSX, like you said, it's preference.
>>54297837
>Except there is no use case for OSX
A *nix desktop.
>>54297861
That isn't good enough. What can OSX do that Windows can't? I can't think of any.
Now ask, what can Windows do that OSX can't? A lot of shit.
>>54291243
Let me just suggest Crunchbang linux. I run it on a mid-2007 MBP, [email protected], 2GB RAM and it's smooth as butter. I'd imagine it'd be a tad worse for you, but still better than most operating systems
>>54299232
Oh but it is good enough
>What can OSX do that Windows can't?
Run X11 applications
Have a usable CLI
>Windows do that OSX can't?
BSOD?
>>54299232
>What can OSX do that Windows can't? I can't think of any.
Ignorance masquerading as knowledge.
Perhaps if you knew what you were talking about rather than spouting bigotry you'd have more relevance.
>>54299275
>Run X11 applications
What is Xming?
>have a usable CLI
cmd is just fine if you know DOS.
Now let me posit this:
Name one Point of Service machine you know of that runs OSX.
How about servers/mainframes? I know WinServer isn't that popular there but they do exist.
What kind of logistics management tools do you know of that exist on OSX? How about IT systems?
OSX is consumer-based- and it's good at that, but stating that Windows has no use when it very clearly does just because YOU have no use for it is flat out wrong.
>>54299544
>cmd is just fine if you know DOS.
lol no
>Name one Point of Service machine you know of that runs OSX.
Your pro for Windows is that it's used on cash registers? Kek, okay bud.
>How about servers/mainframes? I know WinServer isn't that popular there but they do exist.
So does OS X Server.
>What kind of logistics management tools do you know of that exist on OSX?
can't tell you one that runs on Windows
>How about IT systems?
How about the plethora of programs that Linux has? Most run on OS X as well.
