For me it seems most of the issue is relating to Same Origin Policy/CORS and without looking too deep into things, it sounds like rather than provide a secure or compatibilty web interface, they instead will just show the message.

There is some issue with 512 MB VRAM in Win98 FE, but I haven't dug into what it is exactly.

After changing the link to the actual announcement instead of some blog, it is written as if Copilot is a front end for various LLMs and other similar systems.

All links to Windows OS ISO have been removed. Do not post links to the ISO on the forum.

Script bloat is the reason why the forum appears to be slow. You can run a Performance test in Inspector. At least for me, most time was spent on scripting.

There was ads in Windows 95 when you installed some version of IE. I found it when I built my Japanese Windows 95 computer. The good thing was that the ads are from back then and did not go online to get them. Windows 8 also had ads, so does Windows 10 even the Enterprise version. I can't verify your claim about whether OEMs can do it, as I no longer have access to updated OPD. But I would say that if you don't have access to OPD, then you should not make any claim as to whether an OEM can/will do something to Windows. MS is very restrictive when it comes to what an OEM can do.

I don't like to do address bar searching, so I never change or add search engines to Chrome-type browsers. I preferred old Firefox and Palemoon versions that have a dedicated search field on the UI and for those I have added search engines to.

On Win7, Iron 109 with 3 extensions: - Adblock Plus - uBlock Origin - User-Agent Switcher (disabled)

The error means invalid image format. Since you are on a 64bit OS, we can presume the OneDriveSetup.exe is fine, but one of the files it tries to load is the wrong architecture. If OneDriveSetup.exe is a 32-bit binary, it tried to load a 64-bit dependency or vice versa. Quite possible the correct dependency is present on the system, but default file search order found the wrong one first.

I don't know what a volume OEM copy means. I have done a repair install using an OEM Recovery CD before, but it has been awhile. I also know some OEMs removed the ability to do repair install.

I really don't pay any attention to what is in browsers and not like some of you guys, so I have no idea what is in Iron vs Chrome. What I can say is that the issue with posting or editing a post that contains links is a different issue but still related to this string issue, that thread is here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/185994-cant-edit-my-first-post-in-thread-error-when-posting-links/ I have noticed that the link preview issue is not 100% the fault of the site or the post editor, as it doesn't happen 100% of the time and not with all browsers. But I feel that issues with this site will always happen as IPB being a modern company is keeping up with the times in terms of browser tech, and the users of this forum are generally not.

I never did try to convert this portion of a system. If it happened to me, I would probably clone the disk, then attempt a repair install.

0x7b stop error means the mass storage driver is missing.

You can get the text back on Firefox 72 before whatever updated in the forum that broke compatibility, and Iron 109. For the MSFN links, when you paste the link, and the preview comes up, click the black banner that says to show only link. It seems that sometimes the preview option for forum links doesn't work.
