That one specialty printer at work that's not important enough to upgrade, but still gets used...
At least it's not allowed on the network.

So true...
Yeah, I remember that I left Empire: Total War open for a few hours and it smelted my video card.
Next PC came with Vista and I loved it
Ewww, Vista.
That's like stepping in something nasty
Vista was good, actually.
Like fuck aero but it was glanced, the chess, the useless performance metric, the ugliness and the final straw before switching to Linux
There's still an antivirus program out there for 32 bit xp and firefox supports a lot of the usual plugins. I wouldn't do online banking but I browsed the web on bare metal xp (the unofficial "integral edition") ealier this year and it was fine. It's not ideal but for some low level office stuff with little security concerns xp is kinda serviceable even today.
Nah I got a Windows XP VM for work! I love it!
I noticed when I installed Win7. :^)
Pretty much anybody reading this still uses XP at least weekly if not daily.
It's still all over the place, ATMs, gasoline pumps, ticket machines, kiosks, ect, ect...
Some of you may even be sitting in a room with XP right now and not even realize it.
You may have forgotten it, but it is still there, waiting, watching, ready blue screen for just no reason at all.

'2016. The computer was offline and connected to a machine.
Except the last time I turn off an OS it's usually because it was BSOD and never came back. Then it's wiped and something new or it's reinstalled. Is it the same OS if it's reinstalled?
depends,
if you reinstall packages one by one? it is
if you replace it wholly? different

Was sometime in January 2009, switched to Linux.
Are we including the server editions because if so it was an exchange 2003 server I killed in 2019.
For my main comp this was actually from Vista RC something - I had enough RAM & it didn't give me any compatibility issues (like Millennium before XP on my gaming rig, bcs manufacturer sux at drivers).
I never really liked XP ... I know, Im sorry!!
I loved that it brought gaming to NT-ish stability tho.
(Then again Windows classic theme rullz. Tho the og Aero was nice at the time.)
Has not happened yet. I keep a copy around in a VM for old games.
I did it with joy, because I used it for a few days to implement and test an SMBv3 to v1 Bridge (fuck Trumpf for using embedded XP and using SMB for pulling blueprints, forcing the use of SMBv1), and it (as well as the Windows Server) was hell compared to Pop I was using at the time.
reminds of the poor xp vms ;). I still have disk images somewhere I believe.
(never used xp on a hardware personally though)
