Man, whatever you've smoked, it was real strong! No offense meant but... the ARPANET turns 50 next Oct 30, so that's simply not possible (let alone inside OE6)...

I suspect @glnz may have exaggerated a bit for comic effect

I just wanted to post about windows 7 EOS nag KB4493132 update, https://www.askwoody.com/2019/windows-10-nag-for-windows-7-makes-an-appearance/ but it turns out @dencorso already did it in the first post. Thus I suggest calling him a Guardian Angel of Windows Updaters

Modern webkit needs to be linked to a modern version of chromium, otherwise it doesn't compile. If you try to use an old version and a new webkit, you're gonna get a lot of errors. If you try to use a modern version of the javascript engine in an old version of Chromium, you're gonna get errors. If you are gonna try to use the new UI with the old version, you're gonna get errors. Besides, Google doesn't care about old webkits and doesn't archive them nor support them, so it would even be impossible to compile an old version unless you do save it, store it, and use it. Let's suppose that you start back from version 49 and you modify it with newer components. The first obstacle you're gonna face is going to be the sandbox, which is not compatible with XP. Simply put, I have no idea what they did with that browser, but if they are willing to share the code and make contributions, they're welcomed. If you wanna contribute yourself, though, you're more than welcome and you can do it here: https://github.com/Skulltrail192/Chromium-For-XP-SRV2003 I wouldn't trust anything made by Chinese companies, by the way, as they showed what they were capable of with Maxthon... (sending visited websites, bookmarks, computer informations and a list of running processes back to Beijing).

@Mathwiz don't be ridiculous. These are technical forums, people don't do that here. @glnz the simplest way to move those 61 years of accumulated emails is to just use pencil and paper and a little transcription time; then simply re-construct the data manually.

Haha, I often come here to read @glnz posts, just for that extra comical effect. I remember that I transferred my OE emails to Thunderbird, but it was a decade or more ago, I don't even remember how I did it, so sorry I can't help with that. As for the XP after the last patch Tuesday, I intend to use it as long as it is possible, not just because I like it, but for my current hardware is not capable for running something newer, except some Linux distros, which I use from time to time. And I have no doubt, this great XP loving community at MSFN, and some others will still be alive and kicking, for years to come.

I haven't had any time to reply here yet but I did make some progress and I think I might have gotten it, will edit this and post back with more later.

This is where things get ridiculous. If they deliberately discourage the use of older browsers, they should make FF64 work.

MS Edge 75.0.107.0 works on Windows 7.

Don't hold your breath, though...

By spoofing a recent Google Chrome version (70/Win7x64) in FirefoxESR52 (see my previous post...) general.useragent.override.google.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 I can get PAST the "... isn't supported by your browser, yet." message; however 1. Due to old gfx card driver (Toshiba modified, can't be updated to later version by vendor), some WebGL features are being disabled 2. I am met with Javascript errors; probably FxESR52 can't handle the recent JS code Google are feeding it...

As always, test ISO in VMware before wasting a DVD.Also might want to look into changing img0.jpg and edit imageres.dll inside Install.wim so that you theme/background was available on first boot. Think it was images # 5031-5043 in imageres.dll (images 5044-5056 were R2 logon screens)
