Windows XP has officially attained un-dead, zombie status.

Ya think it had something to do with the US and UK governments tell people officially to stop using Internet Explorer???

"The operating system that would not die!!"

I'm honestly not sure whether to consider this good news, bad news, or just news. Have at it, FReepers...

Adobe is also at fault. If you don’t have the patch, it is sufficient to disable the Flash plugin.

I didn’t expect to be doing this tonight, but I just put a discarded 20GB hard drive with XP service pack 1 on it, into one of my machines.

I got past the Admin password and am now admin, and now will try to go with service pack 3, but I don’t know if Microsoft update will require a license number.
