I'm alive. Rebooted with this month's updates. And yes I would believe that only the Flash and Security Only are relevant here. However .... Would the Security wrap up (107 MB) contain January and Februay's updates?

OK testing the links you gave for the x64 updates ... rebooting.

Wow! I have been slow on this. I guess after a couple months it hasn't been such a priority ...lol. I will look later though.

By the way, wouldn't repackaging your OS with changes made be illegal to redistribute anyhow? It would be like me slimming down XP with NLite, and placing it online, no?

Especially the case now that Cyberfox is biting the dust. Cyberfox will shift to 52 ESR (likely today) and then die once the ESR cycle has completed.

10-4. Still, good to know.

Is that true Tripedacus? So if I lend you a Windows DVD and you install the OS with your license, that's illegal? I thought it wasn't. Good to know.

I just don't get that. Once you excise all of the metro stuff from Windows 8x, it really looks more like a windowing system than 10 does. The caption buttons (min/max/close) in Windows 10 and UI are more flat than 8x by a long shot. And the dialog boxes in 8x are more like Windows 7. I just don't get the dislike for Windows 8.

So it'll be March when we see the next updates. Wow! That seems like a real regression for Microsoft! https://www.sevenforums.com/news/405295-february-2017-security-update-release-delayed.html

I don't think there is a precedent for that either - where no updates were issued in a month prior to Windows 2000 Professional. I don't recall how Windows 98 and ME were scheduled for updates, or did they just come at random?

Wonder when it will be?

I switched over to the bulletins tab, but only January's patches are there. Still awaiting February.

So I take it this is where we will now find posted updates for Windows. Nothing is showing up yet https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/security-guidance

Now Pale Moon v27.1 is fully working with Facebook. But not without a lot of arguing over there. On to the OP's topic (oh wait! That's me), I wonder if we'll actually get any updates tomorrow. I'm curious to see.

Now can you not remove source files by using the DISM command. Then when you check the status of features is shows in a command window as "Disabled With Payload Removed"

If I had to place a bet, I think the x64 Edition and Server 2003 variants would (in x64 builds). If I could take half the money off the table, I think particular XP installations could do it.

I have a hard time understanding how you're getting stuttering issues on WinNT6x, especially on a Quad Core. Those system actually make MORE use of the hardware than XP does. I'm baffled. What is it that you're trying to accomplish? There is no way that Vista or Windows 7 should have such difficulty, unless you're short on RAM or using an older GPU. Just guessing though.

I'm with you for the most part here. I like being on a system that's "symbolically" out of support such as Windows 8 (since I can get fully compatible Server 2012 patches) and still use a fairly modern OS that can utilize newer applications. I also run a Metro-Free environment, and I use a lot of older Windows applications. But I like my browsers to be up-to-the-minute. And my tax software needs to be able to use newer security protocols in the installed TCP/IP stack to even function for e-file use. So for real work, XP and older is now a no go. I need what Windows NT 6 based systems give me. That was different as little as two years ago, but now the whole game has changed. But yes, Windows 10 has not interested me thus far. I hope something changes by 2023, but maybe I'll migrate to a different hardware platform by then.

I wonder if the RetroZilla author would benefit any from working with the K-Meleon folks. They have Gecko 38 in use, but I doubt it's compatible with Win9x.

Well it appears that the theater mode refresh issues in Facebook have been found in Pale Moon. Odd, I find it, that the thread sat dormant for days. Then I posted that I was testing K-Meleon (which uses Gecko 38) and it exhibited the same issue. Next morning, it was found to be corrected in an early v40x series of Gecko. Posters are thanking Moonchild for his perseverance, and I thought, "What perseverance"???. He and Matt A Tobin were willing to just sit on the problem. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=13005&start=300

That's basically what I mean. I actually liked IE 7 on XP (at the time) but not for today's browsing.

Of course, using Internet Explorer on Windows XP might be a no-no, since it's version 8 ...lol. But yes, IE 11 gets the shaft for no good reason. A good browser.

Somewhat agree but these recent Facebook issues are a real doosie.

It appears that Moonchild was fixing the installer to work with Pale Moon under Vista, so it appears safe. However, Pale Moon has been experiencing rendering issues with Facebook and Netflix, likely because of new code and DRM-related issues, that aren't experienced in other browsers. It's been getting a bit tense over there.

I thought they just didn't want to take the extra time because of the small user base.
