I have Windows Server 2003 and it looks exactly like XP Pro. The two can both be made to look exactly like each other, it's all just the "theme" and theme support exists in both. The 98SE crowd would always use the Win2k "classic" theme, but I myself disliked the classic theme and would use the same theme as XP Pro. I didn't have to install the Pro theme on Server, it was already there and only needed selected/enabled. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only guessed it's Windows Server 2003 because of the default classic theme selected by default. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc333 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 XP and its derivatives seem to be the cockroaches of the PC world, don't they? They won't die! c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranceBB Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 On 5/18/2023 at 7:55 PM, cc333 said: They won't die! Too much specialized hardware for far too many years. XP is here to stay as long as the hardware they're controlling keeps going. Unfortunately, the sad reality is that those XP systems and their relative embedded variants will, inevitably, be replaced one day 'cause the hardware they're attached to (like fuel pumps, elevators, airplane docking etc) will die one day, however, given the very long expected lifespan of those systems and the cost it would have to replace them before they break down, I guess they're gonna stay here for a long time (and we will still be able to celebrate them, here in the Spotters Club. ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 From a manufacturing perspective, think assembly line robots, you would be very surprised to know how much of your "brand new" vehicle is assembled with "robot controllers" running XP. And when the "hardware" dies, it is NOT replaced with non-XP. The XP "image" is carried over to the "new" hardware and that assembly line is put back to work as fast as possible. But you will never see those pictures here. We fire factory workers on the spot if they are caught taking pictures of anything! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
