New build of post-deprecated basilisk/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.8, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

DWM crashes with this code are not Aero Glass related. It probably happens when video adapter driver is disconnected and it randomly happens even without Aero Glass for a few last Win10 builds (but it is probably less noticable without Aero Glass which has some delay when it tries to generate minidump file on crash). About Fast Startup problem.. yes, there is some problem that Win10 behaves inconsistently between normal and fast startup. In fact, Win10 "Fast Startup" feature is one of the most buggy thing in Win10 and it is responsible for many "random" problems. For this reason, I disable it on every installation. As a workaround for current build, you could set this registry value: HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/DWM - DWORD GeometryCommand value set to 0x1cc.

What do you people make of this? Didn't think anyone would actually bother to comment, but the author of Rufus himself did. Is anyone here who uses Vista on a regular basis actually concerned of the potential security implications? At least for me, regardless of the OS I use, whether that mitigation is enabled or not, it doesn't make a difference to me, because nothing ever gets on my PC without my explicit permission. I haven't used anti-virus software in years. To me, that's snake oil that only serves to give gullible people a false sense of security and slow the computer down and being downright annoying by deleting software that I actually want to run. It even happened to me once that I was compiling a program from source and NOD32 deleted the freshly compiled .exe right away! I was compiling a freaking game engine at the time... Windows Defender is the very first thing that gets turned off after Windows install. So, since this is primarily for the few Vista fans on this forum and that I don't really like programming and only ever bother with it if something I'd like to use is horribly broken or otherwise find some inconvenience that I'm able to fix, what do you think? Would you rather have a version that's potentially more secure or is the current fine? Honestly, my Vista image dates back to 2013, so it's possible that the bug with controls losing Aero appearance doesn't even occur when on a later patch level, but knowing MS, when their product goes out of mainstream support, they don't usually do any interesting updates. I guess I could compile both versions. I personally prefer the one that looks right.

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.

My mind is full of Windows XP
