Windows XP - April 2016 report; sign of life?

Not a typo. Tested in April 2016 indeed, posted in early May, all good. So here we have a neat little article discussing the practical and security implications of using Windows XP in the month of April, year 2016, exactly two years after its official end-of-life date, focusing on availability of software, security tools like SuRun and EMET, performance, other considerations, and more.

Try using:

SoftMaker FreeOffice (LibreOffice)
Potplayer (VLC)

They weigh less than those you used.

 

thanks for the article

 

yeap, I got it, but it made me feel old

good article

 

If I could manually install Dx11 on XP without that russian "hack", and also have a similar tool like Kernelex, then I'd still be using it. XP is without a doubt one of, if not THE, best OS I've ever used.

 

Once again, nice job XP lives on Very happily & safely here

 

XP was the best operating system Microsoft ever produced.

Its lasted as long as it has because its simple, reliable and until Windows 7 came along, nothing else on the market compared to it.

The fact Microsoft ended support for it has no bearing on its usability.

Proof of its popularity, as Mrkvonic neglected to tell us in his otherwise excellent review, is the fact third party patches are still being made for it.
