@monroe have you ever tried Speccy? It does pretty much the same things and it's XP to Win10 compatible.

Got it. Last time she/he mentioned to open a GitHub project - which he/she did - but as private project. I really hope he/she will share it, so that we can all collaborate.

@Dibya... did you grab OneCoreXPSysFiles.rar from ADrive before Samuka removed it? I don't hear anything from the "lady" since November 28, do you have any news from her? Most important, do you have the files from the package? I have the ones for Windows Server 2003 only, unfortunately... (For the records, yes, it seems that the legend that says that all programmers are men is false, she is a girl xD)

Well, since submarines running XP are not connected to internet, you need physical access to the computers to actually "hack" XP. And... well, if you have someone who actually managed to sneak into a nuclear submarine to get control of it, the OS version running on computers is the last thing you are concerned about xD

It worked! With 127.0.0.1 it asked me to start "Services" process first and then it worked. Thank you

This is what I get: "OPF-ITALIA\*error* (Unknown IP) Could not resolve the computer name: *error*. Please specify computer name, domain\computer, or an IP address." p.s if you are looking at my bar at the bottom, wondering whether it's Lady Gaga or not, well, it's not, it's Lady Antebellum - Just a Kiss, 'cause I'm listening to the radio online xD

@pointertovoid... Avast 2017 has been tested on XP since 07/11/2016 and it will be supported through 2017. It still has bug, but they are going to be fixed

UK’s Nuclear Submarines run Windows XP. "Installed in 2008 and then saving £22 million due to using commercial off the shelf technology rather than proprietary software, the Submarine Command System Next Generation (SMCS NG) powers the HMS Vanguard, Victorious, Vigilant, and Vengeance, four of the deadliest ships ever built, featuring eight Trident II missiles and a total of 40 nuclear warheads. Together they form UK’s entire nuclear deterrent, being ever ready to respond to a surprise nuclear attack on the United Kingdom. We have not heard of any problem with the system over the years, and it's based on Windows XP OS".

Yep you are my buddies U.U xD

Now I remember! CS4 is the last version to work with SP2 and CS6 with SP3. Sorry! xD

@Dclem... I downloaded the Microsoft Baseline Security advisor, but I have a few questions: 1) It asks for an ip address when I click "scan"; do I have to insert the external IP address of my computer? And what for? 2) it's working in Windows XP, but does it find POS Ready updates (thanks to the registry entry) or is it stuck with old XP updates?

I'm gonna start: Latest supported version (Windows XP): Filezilla 3.8.0 Xmedia Recode 3.2.7.1 Visual Studio 2010 .NET Framework 4.0 ffmpeg- 20150525-git-8ce564e Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Service Pack 2) CS6 (Service Pack 3) Chrome 49 Unity 5.2.4 f1

Yes, especially the full moon; that's mandatory. XD Serious mode: on. I didn't have the chance to try it yet, but I'm gonna try it soon.

Got it. Thank you anyway.

Hi! I have to deal with a lot of C and C++ DLLs and executables on a daily basis, and I would like to know whether there is a way to know which assembly optimisations have been used by the compiler or not. I would like to know whether a program uses SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4, AVX or other assembly optimisations (i.e which instructions sets are required). This way I will be able to know whether I need to recompile a certain program or not (depending on the platform). Thank you in advance.

The NHS uses Citrix Neighbourhood to fill forms about people. Citrix is hosted by Windows Server 2003 and the computers used to access it are all running Windows XP East Sussex Healthcare has 413 Windows XP machines, Sheffield's Children's hospital with 1'290, and St Thomas' NHS Trust in London has 10'800 computers running XP.

"A new report reveals that the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is still running Windows XP on 19,500 computers out of their 27,000 total units. In the meantime, the Police keeps paying millions of pounds to Microsoft for custom support, as Microsoft keeps providing patches and security fixes for Windows XP according to a deal that expires in April 2017. It’s not yet clear if authorities plan to extend this deal or not". Still, I would really like to know whether their updates are different from ours (issues affecting XP that don't affect POS units).

Good mood? Yep, especially when I read these news before going to bed...

@HoppaLong... actually, you can use more than 3 GB of RAM in XP X86.

Got mine as well this evening. Everything fine.

Yep. I don't wanna "spam" any other forum other than MSFN, but try to ask in biosmod forum (Google it). They are specialised in BIOS modding, unlocking BIOS menus and making custom BIOS. Maybe (maybe) they can make it for you.

@Windows 2000 probably "just" inf modding. Anyway, there's no way to guarantee that a certain card will work with just inf modding (editing the inf file): the only way to know whether it works or not, it's the "empirical way" (i.e try). In other words, it's not worth to "risk" buying a card without knowing whether it's gonna work or not (especially if it's an expensive one).

In other words: if they'll see enough people using Firefox on XP, then maybe they'll continue issuing security updates after April 2018; am I right?

Google today announced it is ending support for its Google Drive desktop app for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003 on January 1st, 2017, which is not such a big deal 'cause I personally use the web version only. Still, I don't like that Google doesn't care about XP anymore, but considering what they did with Chrome, I expected this.

Uh.... I don't know how they got that number, but the article was published in the BT website (British Telecom), so I kinda trust them. (Unofficial picture of course xD)
