I had thought of taking my old HP xw8200 workstation and converting it to an offline audio editing suite. I could use Windows XP x64 Edition (yes, offline ... I stress that since I've given XP users a jolly hard time in the past). But that means I had better get 'er installed, updated and running. For XP x64 users, you may want to use this page to fetch post-EOL updates from Server 2003. They ran until July 2015. http://wp.xin.at/xp-x64-post-mortem-updates

See Matty Tobin and Moon Marcus refuse to realize that they are serving customers. Customers as such ask the same questions over and over again - they just do. Politely just tell them that we ("we" being you two Moon-Matt, of course) don't support Roytam1 builds, but here's the link to MSFN where you can find out more. See how easy that is??? But alas, there's one big BIG problem with this - it required being "nice". I know that this is something that Moon-Matt have some difficulty with. Just practice. Nice - there you go!

Right, but you have to be able to get Vista updates up until April 2017 first, and then switch to Server 2008 updates. And I wasn't referring to post-EOL updates, just ones made specifically for the OS.

I posted this in the Windows XP section as well - Is it true that update servers are being decommissioned for 2000, XP, and Vista as of July 2019? This might warrant a dedicated topic, no?

Kinda why I created a Window 8 version of the thread, just so it's a tad more "future-proofed". I've placed links to the latest potable builds of Edge Canary releases over there. I think it's silly to release Edge for Windows 7, especially on the eve of it's funeral.

I decided to create a new thread for those wanting to test the portable "Blink" version of Microsoft Edge. New portable builds of the Canary channel are being issued on the Upload.EE site, and I'm fetching those as they become available. N-Sane Forums are supplying the update links: https://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/341437-microsoft-edge-canary-channel-updates/ And here are the three latest releases: https://www.upload.ee/files/9839860/MSEdgePortable_75.0.132.0.paf.exe.html https://www.upload.ee/files/9844163/MSEdgePortable_75.0.133.0.paf.exe.html https://www.upload.ee/files/9872797/MSEdgePortable_75.0.140.0.paf.exe.html ***** A major credit goes to user @jeff69dini for getting this going. *****

Found It! https://www.upload.ee/files/9844163/MSEdgePortable_75.0.133.0.paf.exe.html And Now .... https://www.upload.ee/files/9872797/MSEdgePortable_75.0.140.0.paf.exe.html

Actually it's running damned stable. What I want to know is that the portable version I extracted, are there new builds being issued in that format? Was that version "Canary" or "Developer"? https://www.upload.ee/files/9839860/MSEdgePortable_75.0.132.0.paf.exe.html

Now is there a way to regularly go and download the newest MS Edge portable, or was this just someone's side project?

See that's what I would have thought. or if I could take all of the files from the update and replace the IE10 files, then it would. I really don't care to run IE11, and I would have removed it from Windows 8 components (just like I do with IE 10 currently). But I wanted the Trident engine to be updated, and that is still left behind when you "remove" IE.

@cc333, the UI name is Photon. See I think Photon represents the flat look version of a classic browser.. I have mine set with tabs below the address bar (using usrChrome.css) and it goes sooooo well with Windows 8.

But again, everything was lossy back then (not in the same way though). It didn't dismiss bits and bytes, but just rolled of highs or distorted.

Damn it - I was trying his steps right now. And yes it still fails. The recommended IE updates was installed eons ago, and I restored IE 10. No friggin go at all. Crap!

Yeah you can say "duh", but I did say that I thought the upgrade did not work because I "removed" IE10, but you said that was not the reason - in part, it actually WAS the reason. Besides (i response to your "duh" thing again), there have been times where something seems clear, but wasn't the intended explanation, so I double and triple check now. See, I updated the core OS up to only November 2017, but I've always installed the IE10 updates. Even with it removed, the DLLs, libraries and Trident rendering agent are still present. So as long as the borwser is restored, it should install. I'll check it out, but if you have a VM you can play with, I'd like to hear your results first. Thanks for the info.

Yeppers - I learned since that's not the reason .... but ..... Are you saying that if I restore IE 10, and then install a February 2019 security rollup - I CAN upgrade to IE 11? For real? I have installed the latest IE10 rollup, so it sounds like (from your description) all I need to do is restore IE10 (which would mean that my first reason is actually in part - true after all)

And just how stable is Windows 2000 with KernelEx? Does it slow down the OS any?

How usable is Windows 2000 these days? I actually preferred it to XP (that was until the x64 Edition came to be)

So even the 4.304.4 version won't work after this? I was finding that on my folks system (especially when browsing) that the CPU fan went into high gear (same for my old Vista system). comodo improved that. For those who stayed on MSE, was it still slow?

As for Waterfox, it is not based on UXP, and as for the new Alpha release of Waterfox v68, Photon, WebExtensions and Bootstrapped Add-Ons will be embraced.

I was expecting you to include Q4OS. I just never felt Zorin was all that Windows Like. Now RoboLinux looks interesting. Can you just run a Windows application seamlessly on the Linux dektop, or does it need to boot the whole OS in a VM?

Der Komissar by After the Fire. But I'm listening on analog tape.

I liked Q4OS as well (very XP-like)

Crap! I was really hoping someone would pull an Easter miracle and make IE 11 install on to Windows 8. But here's what I REALLY wanted. In a perfect world, I would have upgraded IE10 to IE11, and then removed Internet Explorer from Add/Remove Programs. As it stand right now, I still have Internet Explorer libraries and DLLs on my system since they are used by other applications. Would I be able to replace those files with ones from IE 11 for Server 2012? Thanks again greenhillmaniac. You really help shed some light on this stuff. :)
