I love Windows XP, especially for creativity without distractions*. I'm currently learning how to use InDesign for yet another project (I can't stop project-ing (not to be confused with projecting!)).

I quite like this Socket FM2 PC too. It may not be the quickest XP build, but it's still performant and its iGPU is decent. Better yet, it's different!

in 25 years nobody will remember #claude 's butthole shaped logo and boring UI, but we'll still cherish #clippy and the #windowsxp bootup sound

This year's April Fools Day video is now available. Originally I planned to upload it in 2014 with the rest of the Microsoft Update videos but just forgot.

@wyatt Yes and no.

  • Granted the #bloatware and #enshittification trend got started in the 2000s, but I'd not attribute this to #WindowsXP as major speed limit but rather people and businesses not yet being groomed into accepting that bullshit…

  • Many people still got pay-by-minute #Dialup and thus shoving updates in the 3-4 digit Megabytes was oit if the question!

@endrift I know...

  • In fact until 3 years ago some banks still mandated #IE6 support for internal tools, meaning they were still using #WindowsXP.

@endrift
Last Windows I touched was #Windows7.
Best Windows was #WindowsXP.

Nowadays I'd choose death over #Windows11 (or #Windows10)…

Not impressed by #chromeosflex so I installed native #linux on my #macbook - here with #windowsxp theme
