nope fully dunctional DWM works with XP drivers on early vista versions it relies on .net 2 and DirectX 9 //samuka can't do nothing, he's using leaked WRK which is not x64 and uses butchered parts of alchi components and some reactOS ... things he never even managed to port DWM, all he does is some compatibility layer for vista apps to work on "XP"

that goes to web dev's any video dependant on *flv or any variant within swf will need flash but they are not necessary anymore, as flash videos are low quality anyway just compare youtube flash "HD" and html5 HD (h264) the HTML5 is so much crispier and sharper

mmm if XP was recompiled with proper x64 support with added DWM and win7's taskbar - I'd ditch any other NT in its favor

yes, losing compatibility support for previous system (apps for xp) yes, you'll get auto telemetry code embeded in VS '15 projects

the incompatibility will be solved when you do it "run as vista" via properties if it works on your current vista, it will work on 7 drivers should work from vista (even xp if i'm not mistaken) but usually you'll get generic ones, so again if it works on vista, it will work on 7 since you aim for 7 RTM, SP1 installation is a must unsupported ? win 7 will come to same phase very soon ... you ain't gonna miss anything, except garbage updates

its shame after so many years Linux hasn't become "average user OS" if they just did some easy predictions in late 2009, Linux would replace winblows for home OS by now...

atleast 9x was usable

another reason in bag full of s***, why not to use that POS it became as as android is, pushing crap you can't avoid...

uhhh I never could and never will be able to imagine usage of cloud apps same goes for personal storage its just ... "ugh" i'd rather carry portable apps on stick

mmm, i use my "carriying mobile technology" (device) to play MAME games hahahahaha

even 1 is enought no frown, let alone "few"

yes it is you have Enterprise "E" and Borg cube attacking Earth fleet

they can't kill "win32" so soon otherwise alot, alooooot apps will break and without win32 (or 64... whatever you wanna call it now...) what will power up .net, which is their ultimate next platformic garbage for long time... ?

how they count statistic, I wouldn't be suprised MS counts in every install within VM as "new device" there you have your fill-gap for 1 billion

that was from Linux distro build

is there anything that is working properly ?

never understood why people even bother to read Paul's blog, he is such a dumb uninformed person and 90% if his rambling is just speculations he has no direct source within m$, only Jane Fooley (or whatever her name is), and maybe Long Zheng and only when real "diggers" comfirm how NTOS is shizzle, then he makes additional blogs of some his thesis of... whatever his "information" is like between someone farting and taking a dump

as far as i'm asked, win7 is best version ever probably the last too

then whats the purpose of metrocrap OS then ? tablets surely won't oversell phones or am I missing something

i know you can increase it, but by default, ala for normal users who don't know this, just makes OS unusable and yes I've made it to that limit, its abnoxious, same with slow verclsid folder content loading

theres nothing wrong with 7 if there is screw up, its from user side, and its far more stable than XP, especially with XP's verclsid bug and desktopheap low limit

works fine

skype will die eventually, as there are free non ad alternatives out there, with even better support for XP its hilarious how MS buys companies for their product, rebrand it a bit, then few years later it dies out... anyone remember photosynth or seadragon ???? - not a PEEP of it, yet it was revolutionary

Pale Moon still supports SSE1 processors but x64 not for XP, just vista and above

made me wonder too before why xp's support was dropping for no reason especially with browsers... makes no sense its not like NT 5 is some special on its own... as long as api compatibility is there anything should run just fine AFAIK only ribbon based UI apps broke on XP but... people are a-holes, even webkit "team" ala google-apple-opera, are dropping support for no justified reason
