    which is something they definitely deserve a praise for!

    Also, their Security Space keys do work on Symbian 9.x versions. And you still can get recent VDBs. On a long-dead mobile OS you still get updates!
    If you ever going to add some protection to your Windows 98 SE machine, go for Dr.Web 5.0. For Windows 2000 SP4 — Dr.Web Security Space 7. Both still get their VDB updates, but you have to be careful about 98SE: there can be serious performance impacts.

    All of this wouldn't have been possible without @win32's effort.

    Patience is the main key. I still wait for my queue to test things for modern versions of World of Tanks and Wargaming.net Game Center. I have submitted the required logs to win32 and silently wait for stuff to come, being ready to retest or provide more details. :rolleyes:

    But yes I made a stub of CreateFile2 months ago and now I will add it. I added the pointer functions awhile back. I also have another function used by the TBB runtime to add.

    I have a feel that the next release of the extended kernel will be much different from the current one... is there a 'preview' changelog by the current state of development version? Mostly DirectX and deeply Windows 7 specific functions?

  4. Wargaming.net Game Center (x64) v22.02.00.9193 confirmed to be working with the Extended Kernel released on July 27, 2022.
    World of Tanks 1.17.1 is still not working due to lack of DirectX 11.1 interface, while enCore RT v0.2 is working flawlessly, yet crash at medium preset.

    UPD (March 8, 2023):
    v23 and newer are failing to start updating or installing the game.

  5. I got full-screen notifications about upcoming retirement of Windows 8.1 support when I installed the latest Monthly Rollup. Having an option to uninstall this mess and not install at all is great, so I keep installing security-only equivalents of these updates.

    Well you could try to run the updated (*fully updated*, they like to call it that here) Vista x64 and see if it loads fine.

    So my prerequsites are completely vanila Windows Vista SP2 installation I should update through Windows Update somehow or an update package I'm not aware of? After complete update procedure, what should be done? Just test if it does not refuse to boot?

    what does it have to with the ex-kernel for Vista ?

    I can guarantee whatever I do on my websites will work almost flawlessly both in browsers requiring extended kernel (and even ones which don't).

     

    That was my expanded answer on fingerprinting, anyway. I'll spoiler that to declutter.

    I wrote about the newer CPUs here because it's on-topic , since we have problems with Vista x64 not starting well on Haswell+ .

    I have my old i5-4570 bench nearby, if it has anything useful for Vista, let me know.

    As an example , LGA775 has IntelME backed into the chipset since 2006-2007. There's plenty of information about it , you could find yourself .

    Got the specs (datasheets) on Intel Series 3 chipsets, well, that's true, but from what the community says over on MacRumors, there is no need to panic at least on P35 chipset, which is used on my GA-P35-S3G mobo.

    Quote

    Generally, Core 2 systems were safer in this respect because, from what I can gather from research and verification (and not official documentation, courtesy of Intel), the ME was typically only included in chipsets that supported vPro. This is part of where things weren't as tightly integrated; if vPro / AMT wasn't present on the system, then there was no need to include the ME either, at least on 965 and P35 chipsets (2006 / 2007).

    But all those Intel ME or AMD PSP things don't bother me much as I don't process any highly confidential or top-secret machinery things on my home computer. If I did, then I'd care cutting/disabling this out. Fingerprinting? To be fair, I have some experience over web developing, and to my perspective, fingerprinting is barely possible to avoid unless you visit websites that explicitly don't run any analytics through JS or cookies.

     

    My vision on the web stuck around early 2010s, when JS was utilized only in an hour of its need and cookies were mostly about personal settings and autologin tokens, and as my opinion can't be heard by millions of '(dead) internet' visitors, I can't do much but keeping things in top shape for time period I want to design. I target early 2010s experience, so I expect myself doing 'nice developer' things as they did in early 2010s.

    And don't forget about the dreaded IntelME.
    Intel® Memory Protection Extensions (Intel® MPX) "provides hardware enhanced protection"
    "Intel® Identity Protection Technology" -allows to create your unique fingerprint , for example used in browsers.

    Can you name anything from this list that exists in this God forsaken LGA775 socket stub? Are we talking about year 2009 or 2015?
