Two ssds is when you need to run stuff on windows that requires the bare metal.

Windows needs to be contained, controlled and told who is the boss, I suggest using Tiny11 or MicroXP in a VM for stuff that can't run in wine.

MicroXP!? What year is it!?

Firefox stopped supporting XP in 2018 so it's not too long ago that it was still usable.

6 years was "not too long ago", eh? Right this way grandpa, let's get you back to your rocking chair

Okay it's long for people where it's 6 years ago they learned to tie their shoes.

Gramps here still thinks LOTR is a recent movie.

I've been in tech since 2003 in some form or another, I'm right there with you in thinking XP feels recent. My daughter was 2 in 2018, so it's definitely felt super quick to me too.

ok so technically, the 2018 support was post wannacry? I want to say. I dont believe they totally supported it up until quite a few years prior to that.

I was struggling to find the newest XP related news to prove my point, it was the best I could do.

By 2018 XP had been replaced by Windows 7 for several years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

yeah. Win 7 was released in like 2009? Win 10 was 2015.

Win xp was probably discontinued the same time as win 7.

Micro xp... I got that to run on a Intel 400mhz laptop with 32mb of mainboard soldered sdram chips. Nothing like a a operating system under 200mb installed with a GUI.
