Yay! I'm applying the .reg file being like

No they are not, they're about 500 kbytes; perhaps it was your connection. As to the repacking thing, I wonder whether it would be better to go with Windows 7 x86 or Windows Server 2008 x86 (which is Vista) to repack it for XP... Anybody wants to give it a shot? Although it's useless for many of us, it would be the first widely available (kind-of-leaked) Microsoft Premier Support for Partners update for Windows XP; that's a milestone! xD

Actually I downloaded it and I was going to replace the files as usual, however after reading your post I refrained and decided to keep the old one for a little bit longer. I can replace them and try on my computer as well if nobody else wants...

Yep, I contacted them and I've got more or less the same reply: Anyway, it seems that, although they don't provide regular XP updates like Microsoft does, if something big comes out and XP is affected, they'll patch it, so I'm kinda interested.

I know what he means, but I can't post the DLLs here. I'll send you a PM, we can't say that here...

@Sampei.Nihira I'll send you a PM.

True, but it's worth asking anyway. I mean, what do we have to lose except for our spare time? Besides, he lives in Canada, perhaps Canadians will be polite xD

Then your best shot is ProxHTTPSProxyMII

Hahahahaha Fun fact, last time I've been in Switzerland was two years ago. I was planning to back there again in the summer to visit CERN but then this whole global mess called coronavirus happened... :'(

Out of curiosity, since you are already building ffmpeg and you are a member of Doom9, would you continue the work of qyot27 by compiling ffms C plugin with the changes you make to ffmpeg? That would make a lot of people happy and I really mean it! It would be awesome to have an updated indexer on Avisynth. https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175173

Hi there, I tried to setup sTunnel on a raspberry pi with the following settings, however it doesn't work whenever I try to use outlook 2003 or outlook 2010: The ip addresses you're seeing are the ones of the computer inside my network that will have to connect to the pi in order to get access to the email. Any idea? I'm actually doing this configuration together with @neverseen.

Hold on a second, XP x86? Isn't the iPad using ARM? I'm asking 'cause many mobile devices are not based on x86 architecture and have ARM which has a different arrangement of transistors meant to use less power and has therefore different instructions. Because of that, if you try to run an x86 OS on such an hardware, it's gonna have to translate each and every instruction, so it's gonna be extremely slow as it's gonna do that back and forth all the time (ARM -> x86 -> ARM). Sadly, the only Windows OS which does support ARM architecture is Windows 10 (afaik), so I don't think you have much choice. One of the things you can do, however, is to try with linux distros (like you've done), BUT choosing the ARM variant instead. That should work and it should be faster. I did that back in 2016 when I was bored on an Android phone and I managed to make XP x86 and Win10 ARM install and boot, however the latter - although heavier - was way faster due to the native ARM architecture and instructions.

I see! Nice catch. I received an error on Chromium and when I loaded it with New Moon I noticed that it was using TLS1.3 so I was almost completely sure that it was because of that and I didn't check. So the culprit on XP is SNI support and not TLS in this case...

Nope, I didn't have that ASUS, I should check the model somewhere but it wasn't that one. As to the topic, I thought about mentioning it in the first place and will do it right now since you asked, but the reason why I didn't do it is that zeranoe's forum requires TLS1.3 which isn't supported on XP unless you have Roytam browsers.

It doesn't have TLS1.3 support yet, however it has ECC support which means that websites using TLS1.2 and ECC will work on XP on every program. Now, the cherry on the cake would be TLS1.3 support. Anyway the project is open source and written in Python 3.x, so if anyone wants to help, please do it.

I remember the AMD Athlon 3200+ as it was one of my CPUs. I still have it in my garage along with the motherboard. It was my upgrade from a Sempron and it was blazing fast compared to the Sempron back in the days thanks to the added cache and the 2.2GHz which was way higher than the 1.6GHz of the Sempron. Besides, those were the monocore golden days of AMD before falling down against Intel. I still remember that AMD used to even mock Intel by calling their Athlon 3200 because although they had a clock of 2.2GHz, they were as fast as an Intel 3.2GHz. Because of the lower clock to have the same speed, they were cooler than Intel CPUs, however this different implementation which was good for AMD during the monocore days, prevented them from releasing good parallelized multicore which led to a total defeat against Intel in the long run. After the AMD Athlon 3200+ I bought the AMD Athlon 3800+ which I overclocked from 2.8GHz to 3.2GHz. Ah... Good old days... After that AMD had a failure after another... AMD Athlon 64 dual core were crap, as well as the Phoenom II x4 and the Phoenom II X6 which I purchased. After yet the last delusion about my 6 core which was WORSE than an Intel i5, leaving alone an i7, I decided to move to Intel and I've been happy ever since. Oh, as to the title, I did change it 'cause I think there was a mess and people were ending up by downloading either my build which was outdated or VistaLover's build which was outdated, when instead there's a series of updated builds made by you that everyone should use. You deserve the topic xD

Indeed. I cleanup the topic a bit and I removed my build. I left the link to the old @VistaLover build but I wrote that I strongly encourage users about using @Reino builds.

True, but luckily there's ProxHTTPSProxyMII which gives you ECC support system wide and works fine on XP, although some websites are not particularly happy when it handles them and break. But generally it works fine.

FAQ: - Yes, it's called One Core API and it's based on a modded kernel with many more backported instructions and APIs and it's developed by Samuel (Samuka/Skulltrail) along with a series of people. If you wanna know more you can search "Windows XP Forever" on Skype, it's a group where we coordinate our job to develop it. You'll find many people from this community, including (me FranceBB of course), @Dibya, Peter, barcode, @DoaJC_Blogger and many others who have made other contributions to this community during the last few years. - No, I cannot link it otherwise @dencorso will ban everyone xD But you can definitely search on Google "one core api binaries" and click on the first GitHub link by Skulltrail192 and click "Download" (top right) and then start by installing the Base installer. Please make a backup before you install it (not a restore point but a proper backup) and consider that as a beta, so it may or may not be stable as it's still a work in progress. And please remember that MSFN has nothing to do with this, it does not advice anyone of installing third-party software and is not responsible for any of the suggestions given here about One Core API.

I never remember whether it's Premium Support or Premier Support. https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/support/microsoft-services-premier-support - http://originw2.cms.ms.akadns.net/en-us/microsoftservices/support.aspx Anyway, you can google and see the details on the Microsoft Support page for businesses, however it doesn't specifically say anything about extending the support of a dead OS, it says that they'll provide critical security updates. If you're looking for businesses running XP with such a contract, there are plenty of articles on the web like the UK Court IT Systems, the US Navy and Military Systems and so on... Articles never disclose how much money they spent, but they generally say things like And also Which would be extremely good for us as I would be willing to pay 200 bucks per year, BUT that option is offered ON TOP of the $15'000 per year paid by companies to Microsoft for the Premier Support. Other websites instead said that the 200 bucks per PC was only at the very beginning and that it has later been increased by Microsoft Things are different for Windows Server 2003: So, again, I don't know, but you can actually ring Microsoft and ask for Premier Support and for solutions to extend XP Support or Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 support, listen to what they have to say and report that here. Unfortunately, I tried to call them several times in the past, but each time they diverted me to the commercial customer support 'cause I was a private consumer and not a business. Of course you can try to pretend to be a business, but that's not gonna work as Microsoft is a big company and they will definitely ask you for the details of your business which are mandatory and some other registration stuff. Beside, they'll ask for your Microsoft Business account so that they can see your registered computers and other stuff and we don't have any of that since we're just private citizens and business owners, so there's no way we can get that info. As to the customer support, if you ask the commercial customer support about these kind of stuff, they'll tell you that you can't extend the support of your Windows XP Home Edition and that what you're talking about is handled by the Business Support and not by them and they'll tell you to contact them as they have no clue, so...

On the very long run, yes, but we're talking about years... I gotta say though that XP is suffering the lack of support for many things by now and although many things still work for Professional Usage (Avisynth+, x262/x264/x265, ffmpeg, etc) some other don't (recent version of Visual Studio, Photoshop, Premier, AVID Media Composer, Davinci Resolve, Blender, AVID ProTools, Cubase, etc) making it impossible to be used for professional stuff anymore... Even Avisynth+ - which is still supported as a frameserver along with many filters - suffers a pretty bad thing: it doesn't have any updated indexers and without an indexer you cannot create an uncompressed A/V stream to be used inside a frameserver, so... And sure there are workarounds like using ffmpeg to make a lossless mezzanine file with HuffYUV or FFV1 etc but still it's far from being an ideal workflow... Besides, some other lossless codecs like UTVideo dropped XP support entirely along with Windows 7 support, so it's a no go as well. Things are different for a non-professional use of XP, like browsing (we do have updated browsers), watching videos (we do have updated video players like PotPlayer), listening to audio files (PotPlayer again to name one or Foobar 2000 etc), chatting with our friends and relatives (there's Miranda which supports Skype, Facebook, Discord, IRC and other platform, there's Telegram which still works although new version don't work, there's TeamSpeak which works if you use an old version and you connect to an old server and so on). Of course, no one is stopping you from using old version of very well-known programs, however the problem is that bugs will never be fixed and of course nothing new will be supported. For instance, a friend of mine bought the Sony A7III which shoots pictures in 6K HLG HDR. I wanted to edit the raw footages with Photoshop CS4, however I couldn't because it didn't support that camera and the plugin released by Sony didn't work with older version of Photoshop. I couldn't even see them 'cause although Irfan View managed to display them, Windows XP has NO FLIPPING CLUE about what a color curve other than the Linear BT601 and Linear BT709 is, therefore it was totally ignoring both the colormatrix BT2020 and the color curve HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), thus displaying a gray-ish image. One more example? Well, a friend of mine bought a BlackMagic Cinema Pocket Camera and I wanted to see the videos on my computer, but sadly .braw files can be decoded by the BlackMagic Player only (no MPV, no Media Player Classic, no PotPlayer, no VLC etc) but of course it didn't work on XP as I couldn't install it. Of course the guys from BlackMagic also released an .msi with the codec so that you can use whatever player you like as long as it uses DirectShowSource (like MPC-HC), but again I couldn't install it because it didn't support XP... Long story short: I do like XP, it's something that really matters to me, but it's just a VM on my computer now... I also have a VM with Windows 98SE which is constantly closed and I turn it on once in a while when it's its "birthday", I look at it, I remember the good old days and then I turn it off again. As to XP I do use it, but only as my non-work-related OS. You know, I use it to check Facebook, to go to Doom9, MSFN, to chat with my friends, to listen to music and to help the Avisynth community, but that's pretty much it. For everything else, I have Windows 10 which I use for stuff like Visual Studio, Eclipse, MATLAB and other stuff. As to the main OS which handles the VMs, I'm using Fedora (which is Linux, namely the distro used by Linus Torvald himself and the one that it's a "beta" of the RHEL used by many companies) and I'm quite happy about it. Sure, it's not XP, but at least it's not Windows 10... As a side note, for everyone holding their breaths for One Core API and the modified kernel, just... don't... Sure, the development is going on, we're making progress and it indeed adds some functions/kernel calls that didn't exist on XP before and you can download it, install it and use it even now like I've been doing for quite some time, but if you think that it's going to be a miracle that makes everything run for years to come, including drivers etc... don't... In the foreseeable future, I think .NET Framework 5 will be one of the things that will kill XP and Windows 7.

Chrome 49? Really?! That is bizarre, 'cause with Chromium 54 and my fake user agent: "C:\Programs\Advanced Chrome\chrome.exe" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4102.3 Safari/537.36" all I could see is a big fat blank page...

Or XP with Premium Updates, considering that Microsoft is still issuing updates to companies running XP that are paying $15'000 per year. I still hope that someone will share them, but people are afraid to be identified in some way by Microsoft and potentially lose their job along with a big fat fine... (I can't blame them, though).

Well because I already had it uploaded there along with my repository of other important stuff xD https://mega.nz/file/GEcz1SpQ#Gesx2KqlwsS2mTMa4MqXyMVkOWSn_gN3KN0y44TsRRQ

Did it go offline itself or did someone make you remove it? 'cause if you want I can upload it back to Mega. EDIT: https://mega.nz/file/GEcz1SpQ#Gesx2KqlwsS2mTMa4MqXyMVkOWSn_gN3KN0y44TsRRQ
