So yeah, I'd recommend that 99% stick with the most up to date OS. And can't tweak much more than their screensavers (most of which they've downloaded from malware sites). As most people lack the knowledge to do much more than check their email and Facebook walls. That said, I wouldn't recommend my approach to someone else. I'll be sure to let everyone know if/when that "avalanche of doom" finally hits me. And I'm guessing as long as the market share remains close to 30% this will continue to be the case for the really important patches. So it seems support hasn't come to a complete halt at all.
in fact when I checked in May I saw a critical update for IE sitting there. I've been using XP Pro for almost 10 years with no compromises. Because I'm about to reformat an older PC to use as a retro gaming & general multimedia box, offline. I'm glad I have an XP Pro SP3 disc with most of it's updates since slipstreamed into it on-hand so I won't have to deal with any of this crap. It just takes 1001 tweaks and some 3'rd party support to get there. in the hands of an end user knowledgeable of XP Pro it can be made to be perfectly secure, not to mention offer more privacy and potential anonymity than any Windows OS since could ever offer. Obviously that is a vicious circle, you need Windows Update to get service pack 3 and to fix Internet Explorer, but Windows Update will not work without service pack 3.Ĭlick to expand.Also because. The errors 1 and 2 are related to not having service pack 3. It appears to me that Microsoft has obviously deliberately screwed its users who might need to reinstall their Windows XP that they paid for. This is important information for the 30% of users still using XP. Ĥ) Internet Explorer 6 will no longer connect to any Microsoft Websiteĥ) Internet Explorer 6 crashes at almost every websiteĥ) Previously available download links to standalone updates for XP are now dead linksĦ) Previously available download links to standalone updates for IE6 are now dead links
This is what happens after reinstalling Windows XP version Serice Pack 2 build 2600 from the Original CD.ġ) Windows Update no longer works. Has anyone else had to reinstall XP since the end of support deadline ? I had problems with my XP computer so I decided to reinstall from the CD like I always have in the past.
