Again? Neither do I.

I agree, there will I'm sure be a dedicated thread or two or more about finally abandoning XP after next April. I personally have no intention of doing so!

Same here. If Microsoft really delivers TLS1.3 and no major security flaws are found, I have the feeling that we will still be around for quite some time. Not to mention that I am planning to ask Microsoft if they'll keep their Premium Support available after April 2019 and how much it would cost, 'cause if there are still a considerable amount of companies that are paying for it, they'll keep it and I would be more prone to pay for it rather than paying a W10 licence. After all, the US military services - including the navy and the air force - already said that they have specialised hardware and hand-written software running on XP-derivate and they didn't plan to upgrade anytime soon 'cause it would require a complete rewrite of the softwares and further tests before deploying them to the field. Imagine having to rewrite programmes written in C/C++ with the core in x86 ASM for radars, proximity controllers, navigation systems, airflow controllers, pressure stabilisers and many other things... I mean, it's possible and it would probably get some benefits from x64 and modern AVX512 intrinsics, but it would be a pain in the b- uh... I mean a nightmare to re-write, test and support.

you may need to edit 28.0 language pack's maxVersion to 28.1.0a1 in order to install.

recaptcha requires MessageChannel object now, from my testing, with dom.messageChannel.enabled = true (pref starting working from firefox 26 and later) versions from ESR 31 and later will work. I'm now trying to port MessageChannel API to palemoon26, if everything works, then there will be a browser that is working with recaptcha and vanilla win2000.

Latest improvement: Windows 10 install and repair instructions have been improved and completed to include new experiences. HTH Cannie

I think we had discussed it here, before the server crash. You can set an edition that will be selected by default. [WinNT6] DefaultSKU = Professional The compact mode on windows 7/8 now shows the boot animation. For the Ctrl+Shift+D hotkey look in the Tools\diskpart folder. It's a hidden feature, so I'm not document this one.

Have you noticed that MSE client development has completely ceased? I assume you are using 4.10.209.0, which is the same 2016 version that you and I both were using on Vista when Microsoft's time bomb ticked us off (so there has never yet been a version that could not be installed on Vista: they just won't work anymore). Meanwhile, Windows Defender for Win 10 has reached version 4.13, which does not bode well for Win 7 users (but is perhaps OT here: sorry Jody).

After 8 months I am online again here!
