Downloaded the reg files and integrated them on my dual boot puter, and lo and behold XP updated...

Follow linky.

Very good. I liked XP a lot, but the last computer came with Seven and this one has Eight. The only thing I can see besides the touch screen on Eight is the OneDrive/OneNote that MS has online. That is very handy but I'm sure it can be done with XP also.

XP was their best OS to this date IMHO.

Still run dual boot XP pro next to W 7 on this laptop.
Decided to keep it that way as long it is feasable too, this might help for the ones that have the same idea ;)

Speaking of software updates—Apple forgot to renew an SSL certificate, which broke their automatic update software completely. Oops.

Nahhhh....


DOS 6.6 was the shiznit!

[PA5COR]

You mean DOS 6.6a NL was the best....

COBOL was the cat's meow until Cylonsoft discontinued support. (:-<)

CP/M, man.

I still remember the listings of my Sinclair ZX 81 with 16 kB memory module and cassette recorder, followed by the CoCo from Tandy...

Even though I had a "real" 386sx computer in the shack, I took a giant step backwards and used a Commodore VIC20 (and an AEA CP-1) to do RTTY. I no longer have the 386, but that VIC20 is still in the garage... somewhere. And I still have my original CP-1 plus another one where I added the serial port.

Ahhh.... the goode olde daze!

The only thing I can see besides the touch screen on Eight is the OneDrive/OneNote that MS has online.

both work just fine on win7.

To no one's surprise, news reports indicate that Micro$oft is NOT happy, not happy at all, about this hack to the registry.

Expect repercussions.

Naturally a bunch of BS propaganda came from Micropenis, but I got a couple of giggles out of it. POSReady, are you ready for a piece of shit? Then there's Jerome Segura, senior security researcher for Malwarebytes. There's a professional name that fits his position with the company, Jerome Secure.

One thing's for certain, developers at Malwarebytes are a lot smarter and up on things than those at Micropenis. Recently Java upgraded to secure against those who would reverse engineer it for hacking and writing malware, they added two kernels that obfuscate file extensions making them difficult or impossible to recognize. Malwarebytes ignored them from the start while MSE quarantined them. I had to restore them and change a setting to not automatically quarantine files. OOPS! The next time I scanned the drives it flagged them, so I changed another setting I had forgotten to ignore them, problem solved.

Now before comments start coming from the peanut gallery, I've been using Windoze since my first home brew 486DX60 with a math coprocessor, v3.1.1 when it was a GUI for DOS, and setting DMAs and IRQs was a bitch, but I learned to live with Micropenis. It's just a little late for an old dog to learn new Linux, especially since I have fog where a brain used to be. That's also my excuse for not learning Morse code, but it's a good one for a guy with a learning disability that caused SO much trouble in school. Imagine my frustration and anger when I couldn't convince anyone there was something wrong, and all I got was "You just have to work harder." They just couldn't understand that a kid with an above average IQ could have a learning disability, oh well.

OK, now that you know a little more about me, how about you just give me a break and STFU?
