Windows 7 will be the next Windows XP. Only a year of Windows 7 support left and it still has nearly 40% market share. The fact that Windows 7 turns 10 years old this year and still commands such high market share is a testament against the spyware and flawed updates that make up Windows 10. You'll never change my mind Even with Microsoft offering Windows 10 for free and using "unethical" methods to get people to unwittingly install, it couldn't kill Windows 7 quickly enough.

Well, it won't become less secure ... the risk, as always, is that someone will discover and exploit a vulnerability that was always there. So I'd keep an eye on security fixes for the nearest supported OS (probably Server 2008). Any vulnerabilities discovered in that are probably in XP also. Usually M$ gives an assessment of what it would take for an attacker to successfully exploit a new vulnerability. A lot of times it turns out to require physical access to the PC; most of us needn't worry about those (unless we're using XP machines at work!) If an over-the-network vulnerability is discovered, we could probably just block the affected port with Windows Firewall, unless it's something we really need.

Late December repository update... Just a few more days for the January patches. Replaced Monthly Rollup with the new KB4471325 (located on the root directory of the repository) Added Security Only Update, KB4471319 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") Replaced Internet Explorer Cumulative Update KB4483187 (located in the folder "/Security Only (Post August 2018)") Replaced .NET Framework Security and Quality with: -KB4471102 for .NET 3.5 SP1 (located in "/NET 3.5 SP1/Security and Quality Rollup") -KB4470637 for .NET 4.5.2 (located in "/NET 4.5.2/Security and Quality Rollup") -KB4470640 for .NET 4.6-4.6.1 (located in "/NET 4.6-4.6.1/Security and Quality Rollup") Added .NET Security Only Updates with: -KB4470633 for .NET 3.5 SP1 (located in "/NET 3.5 SP1/Security and Quality Rollup") -KB4470493 for .NET 4.5.2 (located in "/NET 4.5.2/Security and Quality Rollup") -KB4470500 for .NET 4.6-4.6.1 (located in "/NET 4.6-4.6.1/Security and Quality Rollup") https://mega.nz/#F!txxRyLzC!1vBMGzMHiL864f3bl1Rj1w This must be the first time since Vista's EOL that I've seen an update for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. Don't forget that even if you have .NET 3.5 installed every .NET 2.0 update still applies!

Latest changelog is available here as well: http://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/search/label/browser Serpent/UXP browser (MCP reforked 52ESR as new base), and NM28XP releases: Binaries are moved to here: (I'm lazy to edit all previous posts) https://o.rths.ml/palemoon/?sort=date&order=desc BOC related binaries: Binary list: https://o.rths.ml/boc-uxp/?sort=date&order=desc FAQ: Q: Having audio distorted when watching Twitter/etc.? A: Please try turning on "Firefox compatibility" in options dialog or either "general.useragent.compatMode = 2" or "general.useragent.compatMode.firefox = true" in about:config and reload the page. Q: Can't play H264 clips? (for PM27/KM76) A: Download following packages for your browser edition(32bit/64bit) and extract DLLs to same place as palemoon.exe lives. 32bit LAV dlls are in separated package (extracted from K-Lite codec pack 13.5.5) https://o.rths.ml/palemoon/lav.7z Just in case if you have an older processor which has no SSE instruction set support: 32bit NoSSE (ffmpeg 3.1.1 lite build) https://o.rths.ml/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-mmx.7z 32bit No ASM (ffmpeg 3.1.1 lite build, if build above doesn't work on your processor) https://o.rths.ml/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-noasm.7z 64bit LAV dlls are in separated package (LAV Filters 64bit 0.70.2) https://o.rths.ml/palemoon/lav64.7z Q: AV1 Support? (for UXP-based applications except mailnews) A: You need to enable "media.av1.enabled" in about:config Q: VP9 Support? (for PM27) A: VP9 works if async MSE option is unchecked and "Enable MSE for WebM Video" checked in options. Q: Extensions/Themes not working after updating binaries. A: If you encounter extensions not show icon, clicking options button of extension causing browser unresponsive, etc. please try following actions: 1.a Killing palemoon.exe process 1.b Copy whole extensions folder out of profile folder (to somewhere else for example, desktop) 1.c Restart browser without restoring previous sessions 1.d Goto about:addons page 1.e Drop XPI files from the copied-out extensions folder to about:addonss page One-by-One. 1.f After all XPI files are dropped and installed/updated, restart browser Q: Virus detected? A: Tell your anti-virus program to exclude palemoon.exe and/or plugin-container.exe. Some anti-virus heuristic engines (for example symantec's sonar engine) is too sensitive to palemoon.exe/plugin-container.exe network activities. Q: Where's your patches for compiling my own? A: Please visit the link above "FAQ:". Latest source patch files are named "sources_patches_YYYYMMDD.7z" in that page. Q: basilisk browser showing basic pages in GMail?

it took Google 2 years or so to stop the support for XP and as you might know Google and M$ are close friends now it depends on how many enthusiasts will be there behind CHROME browser support as @roytam1 is.

Sure , but specifically we do have the relevant page archived (thanks to the Wayback Machine) to give some context (and attribution of the "discovery" to cdob): https://web.archive.org/web/20160715151517/http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21702&st=129 jaclaz

I can only add that it works in DOS AND in NT systems, original release post: http://reboot.pro/topic/8528-how-to-patch-fat32-boot-sector/?p=73205 jaclaz

Just FYI, not that it matters, but that's not slang. Those are insulting words, bad words or 4-letter words (even if that one, in particular, has actually 5 letters).

I just came back to XP this year, as I’ve become jaded by the direction MS is going in with Windows.
