@@CaptainSouthbird That's sad but true. A typical example would be the current YT situation here where the YT Studio page is not compatible with older browser versions. Which means, for desktop video upload management you'll need at least w7 where you can have more updated browsers installed, so as to access that page. This problem only occurred since mid-year 2020 when YT forced all users to the new system, and in a very sneaky way, despite major objection from users. I believe YT's insistence on using proprietary coding -- instead of moving from Python 2 to Python 3 -- contributes to such compatibility issue, which is generally regarded as inconsiderate. But the real death to XP will be when all Internet connectivity is severed due to the transition to newer IP standsrds, IIRC. And this will be a nightmare up all levels of computer users and workflow. Scary -- especially when the world is moving amother year away from the old-school legacy era.

That video was posted more than four years ago. It's now November 2018 and I'm still running Windows XP Pro on three of my machines. The reason is simple. I'm retired. I can't afford to throw out perfectly good printers and scanners just because Windows 10 doesn't provide drivers for them. And I'm still using the Windows 97 Office suite. It works fine for everything I do. (The fact is I would still be happy writing letters in WordStar for CP/M through a Z80 softcard. It can keep up with my typing speed and do everything I need. Who needs WYSIWYG or black letters on a white background? Green letters on a black background are much easier on the eyes.)

Nobody that ran cracked versions of XP ever installed security updates anyway... so for millions it was a moot point and irrelevant that MS was ending support for XP when it did. Business customers were more sensitive about that than home users and felt pressured to upgrade even though they did not want to because XP was working just fine for them. When XP first came out it was positively bloated, but now it looks like a lightweight MS OS by comparison to the crap that followed it..

Not true, for some with bad cracks and keys may have had trouble. I only ever purchased one license, but I used to just activate windows with a crack and my serial to avoid the licensing servers. Regardless I had followed the various methods over the years for other pc's for friends and family. There was a keygen that brute forced keys, it found valid keys that way. Then there was an alternate windows update site that emulated and provide xp updates for quite awhile. Then eventually better cracks showed up like antiwpa(Windows Protection Activation), that let updates through. I had been given by a friend who was an educator and Microsoft gold partner one of his special keys. It activated nearly any Windows xp version by using it without the need for authentication. By that I mean windows media center 2005 didn't work with this, that being the only one. However there was a registry hack that enabled updates from version's that still received updates. Now maybe that's fixed as it upset Microsoft and they said do not use it as it wasn't tested for other systems. Which they'd say anyway so you don't receive future updates. However I abandoned xp entirely for linux on legacy systems and only keep it around on VMware just incase.

Of course not, but like any object it can be used by malicious people to harm others. Fact is more people in the US are killed by fists in the US than by guns. I do a lot of shooting everything from Revolutionary War rifles, Cowboy Action, to modern day 3 gun competitions, and lots of range time, and at no time has any of my guns taken a mind of their own. It's not just my opinion that every bullet I fire I own, it's a fact. The ironic thing is I'm against airsoft, and no toy gun (which includes airsoft) no matter the price needs to look even remotely real.

Chrome is no longer supported on XP, indeed. If you installed it in the past, it will probably still run, but it will not be updated to the newer versions. That will not make much difference at first, but you'll experience increasing problems over time, specially with Google services. And other aspect of Chrome no longer being supported is that if you want to install it now on your XP system from scratch, you won't be able to do it, at least not officially from Google servers, because you'll be downloading a modern version, which is no longer XP compatible. You might find the files from earlier versions in some obscure corner of the internet, but that's absolutely not worth it. It makes a lot more sense to switch to Firefox, even if it's not your favorite browser, as it is still supported on its newest versions (Service Pack 2 minimum).

I find win 10 infuriating too, i mean i like some of the compatability automatic fixes for older software, but i hate the start menu and the congested taskbar, plus the settings menu is not what ive come to expect, i feel like if i was just using the computer for internet or word processing, cad design or something it would be ok. But i find i keep coming back to xp for most things i do, although my laptop has w7 ultimate, and i dont mind it, i prefer xp, i still use a p4 2.8ghz as my main desktop computer and to be honest i prefer windows 95/98/00 more than that, but theres not too much i can do with those aside from retro gaming and tuning my cars ecu with old software and a serial cable, which i do with an old p2 toshiba sattelite running 98se. My ibm model xp486 (pentium 100) runs 3.11 and 95, i use it for retro gaming although being mca i only have an ad lib clone and no joystick port as yet.

I personally have one pentium 4 right now sitting on my shelf just needs a windows installation and it's good to go but need to make space for it. Also might need a better graphic card, hopefully I'll find a reliable one somewhere. Couple of years ago I bought new ones factory sealed for XP PCs, bought all for a client, if I manage to find one again it will be a heaven. Either way I can also ship in refurbished PCs if I decide to ditch mine. So all in all there are couple solutions.

lucidbarrier - Pentium 4 isn't for Win7 or modern Linux. I cringe every time I see someone doing that and later complain how the PC wont work or even if works it's slow. P4 is only for Windows XP or Vista. People shouldn't force something on a hardware that isn't made for. If you prefer Win7 or Linux go for a different newer PC and forget about P4 all together. I personally need a P4 for older games and older programs and some additional hardware that doesn't work on newer PCs.

What's the oldest tech item I still use? A 1948 radio made in the UK by a company called Bush. Has brilliant MW/LW reception and a huge speaker. Apart from that I ride daily, my 1986 BMW 160,000 mile motorcycle. Nice to see a Commodore VIC 20 in one of your vids. My first PC, in the non microsoft sense. Current main PC, a home built unit with the best components my income would allow. Asus Sabertooth mobo, with an AMD FX8370 8 core CPU. Topped up with 32GB of ram. Excellent for virtualization. Older PC's have been turned into servers, routers, firewalls, etc. Is any OS really obsolete. Obviously yes, from a commercial point of view, but really only if you stop using it. I use a virtual Windows XP for running CIV2. I also use a virtual version of Windows 2000 for VB6/SQL Server programming. In my opinion the best version of the VB programming language. Much faster than later incarnations. Best maintained OS for old PC's, Linux. Gives them a new lease of life. Check out DistroWatch to find one that suits your vintage hardware. Link: distrowatch.com/ Newer versions of Linux are great for new PC's too. Highly recommend Linux Mint. Link: www.linuxmint.com/ Run a Windows OS for free, in VirtualBox.

Win XP is FAR from obsolete. I and a HUGE community of CNC builders/operators still use XP because of its comprehensive parallel port controller - Mach3 control software and CNC still mostly rely on parallel port and only 32bit OS will handle that internally without extra hardware. Windows 7 32 bit OS will also tackle it but I still see no need to upgrade as the machine is offline 95% of the time and a decent, fast XP desktop can be got for £20 to £30 on ebay - I have 4 running 24/7 and they have been running for years - they never crash and they will boot up and shut down faster than any version of windows after them that still uses a mechanical HDD

So, pretty much, XP still rocks!
