Re: Windows XP on newer Systems (Intel >Haswell/AMD Ryzen)

Just my two cents but I never did any serious browsing on any of my old Windows VMs. Just casual stuff like downloading apps, games & drivers, some forums like Vogons and thats it. The serious stuff I do on my Mac with Safari. Not that I am scared but just playing safe. Anyway, I bet it’s safer now …

Not going to hijack this thread anymore after this post, but I just want to reply to some stuff. If somebody will write an exploit, somebody will write a patch. Not sure about that. The small percentage of people that still use XP, are people working in hospitals, military (ironically enough) etc. …

Not sure about that. The small percentage of people that still use XP, are people working in hospitals, military (ironically enough) etc. Exactly. It's a small but important market. In fact, I believe that if something truly critical comes out and gets noticed, MSFT itself will release a patch, …

I too think that we deviated from the topic discussion, but to put my final comment on the browsers discussion, I have never ever used an antivirus since I switched to a Mac and never had problems. I don't even do backups. Not even a single iPhone backup, if it goes awry, I'd rather always (re)start …

There's also PiHole (?) which runs on a Raspberry Pi and filters incoming/outgoing traffic. Could be handy for otherwise reckless semi-retro systems.. 😉

A couple years ago I did an experiment with XP. I built an XP system, left it unpatched and hooked it up directly to my cable modem. Within about 30 minutes the system was completely unusable due to so much malware being on it. That was with me doing absolutely nothing... Just booted it and let it …

For Win 98 You can also use Netscape 9.0.0.6 with Roytam1's NSS patches, I think he posted it somewhere right here on VOGONS. I use Netscape because IMO it works better than Retrozilla with the same patches.

In regards to XP browsing, Pale Moon's developers decided it was a good idea to block out anyone using a user-agent string below NT 6.1, or containing the word "Mypal" along with some sort of anti-spambot protection (due to some older scraper/bots typically using ancient useragent strings such as …

My collection is a pretty fair mix, ‘modern’ systems seem a little Intel weighted but only because I got the retro bug and haven’t rebuilt since 2014. My 5960x is still doing a decent job in the newer games I play.

You can’t go wrong with “Intel” Rock solid stable with good driver support.

I have a Intel/Nvidia/3dfx bias. I just find them the most compatible.

Hooked this computer back up. Works good. Just needs some fine tuning in config files. What games and programs should I install on it ?

What games and programs should I install on it ? That's kind of like asking what you should get for diner... whatever you like I guess? Pretty much every DOS game released before 1996 will work fine on that PC, with a few exceptions. And "programs" is even more generic, so you could at least give …

Does anyone have or know where to get the original installation videos for these types of upgrades? Not that I need them or anything. Nostalgia, you know..
