I have used 98SE on bare iron, as day-to-day main OS (banking included), from 1999 to about 2012. Then, as browsing the internet started becoming really hard, I began migrating so that, by around 2014 I realized I almost didn't use 98SE anymore and my non-SSE2, single-core machines had become too slow... at that point I gave up on both non-SSE2, single-core machines and on 98SE and migrated to i7 based machines running XPSP3 and 7SP1. So, while I'm not one of the die-hardest among us, I'm still die-harder than most, and generally stubborn as a mule. In my view, whenever using an OS or a piece of hardware (like non-SSE2 processors) becomes a true pain, it's time to move on. I really do believe in "if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee"... "

Longer than MorphOS support Amiga, certainly This is a discussion you start when anything regarding XP or FF 52 ESR pops up, so I don't think we should roll out another progress vs tradition debate here. The case is here, that there are still many XP users rolling around the net normally, and according to NetMarket share XP users are still greater piece of cake than Linux desktop :) If we have a way to try to group again once more and try to reach to decision people with our voice, then why not. However, I think such petition will not have great impact. First of all, anyone can sign it and there is no user verification, so it gives no certainty for the receiver about the real power behind it. Secondly, because it's too late - decisions have been taken in Mozilla in high management level, and already implemented. No Firefox for XP plan was done and rollback will be costly on their end. Such petition, if getting enough signatures, could have been impactful before the deadline was published, or slightly after. So, I signed, but I totally doubt the worth of our effort here :)

Project Name : ExtendedXP(Extended Kernel for XP) Current Version : 2017/05/22 Production Stage :: Public beta KernelEx or ExtendedKernel was invented long ago by loyal MSFN Member Xeno86 to run XP/2000 application on 9x .Further reflected by rloew in his unicow wrapper project for windows 98 second edition .The idea was carried after long time by BlackWingCat of Windows 2000 community and WildBill of windows 2000 community . This my attempt for coming up with similar kernel extension for windows xp in time so that when in future most programs will stop working on XP that time we can use it . Updated System Components :- Functions added to advapi32.dll:- Function added to kernel32.dll:- Added function to ntdll.dll:- Added function to shell32.dll Note: Most of the functions are stub so i have future plans to remove them Added functions to User32.dll :- KnownIssues :- *VLC media-player always crash (Though Skinned mode work) *Resource hacker setup crashes always .(inno setup ) ( Bug found with CryptoLibrary )(thanks to heinoganda) *Avast free 2017 & esed does not work (Something wrong with Shell32 )(thanks to heinoganda) LINKS ARE REMOVED DUE TO NEW RELEASE OF HOT FIXES WITH KERNEL32.DLL & NTDLL.DLL This Post is my request to knowledgeable persons to help me to fix the known issues . Thanks in advance THIS VERSION IS ONLY FOR TESTING PLEASE KINDLY USE ANY VIRTUAL MACHINE OR ANY PC THAT NOT IMPORTANT . THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING. !!Windows XP Forever!!

Well, I didn't read @Jody Thornton as being dismissive. Then again, @jaclaz and me are often read as agressive or provocative more often than not (when declaring that "nothing is safe", for instance), when we clearly don't want to come across in that way at all... That said, things die. If one insists in using a rotary dial phone on a land line at present, it'll still work, in the sense that it will be able to make calls and receive them, but as more and more services require one to type numbers in reply to automated menus and the interfaces used for those menus only understand tones (and the dial phone uses pulse dialing), things become progressively more cumbersome and irritating. The same applies to all material devices, like the non-SSE2 single-core processors I mentioned above. Obviously, since all software, OSes included, are immaterial devices, they could, in principle, keep on being updated indefinitely, and remain up-to date and relevant, just as @FranceBB envisaged. But that would require a commitment to good engineering practices like those that spelled the end of Digital... Why? Because that is not part of the Zeitgeist anymore (and the demise of Digital has shown that already was the case in 1998!). Sic transit gloria mundi.

Haha, my comb is a joke, i dont really sell combs. Light hearted joke, newer is not always better. Skim the xp subsection, and you will find a thousand reasons people still use xp. Your "as it should be" comment is dismissive of everyone who still has a use and a preference for using xp. I will never believe the death of xp is "as it should be". Same goes with 7.

Deepest hatred towards two phenomena, fashion and planned obsolence, and I see elements of both in comments like quoted above Because, actually, why it should? And who decided that. I have nothing against improvement or development, but here I see more a sake for the sake of change. Especially seeing that Roytam1 and other lone Rangers can keep it living. Yes, I'm moving to Basilisk XP on my machine. Just note that I mainly use Windows 7, and I'm totally happy with lesser memory usage in Firefox since 53. But i also would like to keep my XP useful and secure for as long as possible. Just like some people like old Mustangs instead of new, hackable, electronics packed cars. And I share my opinion when asked for. Is THIS hard to understand? However, I give you a credit for manipulative skills, as I should not answer to you in this topic ^^ Lets just assume that there is a bunch of people that simply like using XP more than other windows systems, and that should be the most high-level and appropriate answer to any your future question in the topic

Sure, but that doesn't have to be a new OS. If they rolled out a new official Service Pack 4 with new tools and monthly updates and if they asked people to pay for a new licence to use it, I would have paid it and I think many people would have been willing to pay for it more than paying for a w10 licence. I'm a Linux user and I use Fedora, and I'd really like to see Windows with an updating mechanism similar to the Linux one, updating flawlessly from a version to another. For instance, if you check out the changes between Fedora 28 and Fedora 29, there have been improvements, but it feels like you are using the same OS. Same applies if you compare Fedora 29 to Fedora 26. I'm not against change. Change is good, but I don't think that Microsoft has to make a new OS with a new UI that gives a completely different user experience when they could simply update the "old" ones, trying to keep the user experience as consistent as possible.

Thanks for the settings tips, added them to my info folder. Did some digging, If you add : CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Moonchild Productions\Basilisk\Profiles\ into ccleaner.ini it will check and determine its firefox based, this feature seems to be added in ccleaner v2.28.1091, tested basilisk with v4.11 slim.

If you toggle the following setting in about:config.. the browser should clear itself at shutdown. Those 4 are "false" by default. user_pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", true); user_pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings", true); user_pref("privacy.sanitize.migrateFx3Prefs", true); user_pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);

If any of you has YouTube channel or you are famous over social media. . Please kindly promote this petition . . Looking forward to bring change

Signed! I hope XP support is kept! Long live XP!

Thanks a lot for your help. I am really looking forward. Thanks everybody XP has Newmoon/Basilisk but business don't want to accept community developed browser so they want official Mozilla to kick in . If they do , lot more XP users are coming online back . It is time for us to preserve our XP market share. If you wish please Spoof your Linux /Mac/windows computer as XP .9x/2000/Vista user will benefit too as XP apps are more easy to make compatible than 7 and higher compatible application.
