An extreme example is how the 23-year-old Windows 3.1 which crashed is still used in a French airport as of late last year. I was only 11 years old when this OS was released so you can imagine I pretty much spent much of my teen years using XP machines other than Red Hat Linux of course.ĭespite its age, XP continues to live on in embedded systems like ATMs, factory and medical machines where replacement costs and re-certification (timelines) makes them infeasible to be replaced in the near future. Released in October 2001, it is almost 15 years old today. This page here also puts XP’s length of support in perspective with other Microsoft OSes. This was unlike WinXP which was updated up to its final moments and even had an emergency patch after its support ended. *I say “technically” as that was when Microsoft finally declared Win 1.0 obsolete but I doubt Microsoft was updating Win 1.0 during its final years. The number one rank is technically* held by Windows 1.0 at 16 years from 1985 to 2001. Support by Microsoft finally ended on 8 April 2014 after a record-setting 12.5 years.

Windows XP is the second-longest supported operating system (OS) in Microsoft’s history. (you can also delete boot.ini make only one entry with Windows XP Embedded if you want to use only one disk/partition, otherwise, add another entry to boot.(This is a long ~2900 words post, I recommend reading this from a tablet or computer) You can delete this folder copy all contents from C:\Windows Embedded Images to separate partition/disk that need to be preformatted to ext4 NTFS and then delete modify boot.ini (you first need to use Regedit Component Designer to make some retarded shit) and make a shitty dependency check (and this is REALLY hard if selecting ALL components as there is will be a lot of dependency errors and you will need to fix it by completing a forkie task)Īnd if there is no dependency errors, then you can now compile it, and when it compiled successfully, Windows XP Embedded is a piece of hot garbage that is fucking hard to install, to install it, you first need to install Windows XP PROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!!1111111 SP2Īnd then install MEMZ some weird shitty toolkits and compile it (YES, THIS VERSION OF WINDOWS CAN BE LEGALLY COMPILED) via Target Designer THIS PAGE CONTAINS INSTALLFAG CONTENT, IT IS POSSIBLY GAY TO READ THIS!
