Any out there running Windows XP in 2024?

I'm curious what you've been doing with it, what workarounds and fixes you've had to do over the years?

My neighbour is. I hear the boot sound about once a week. No idea what he's using it for, but I hope it's not connected to his network.

I was using the Windows 95 boot sounds on my Windows 7 computer for a while. It's not necessarily a smoking gun, it might just be a nostalgia trip.

I used to throw the old AOL instant message and "you've got mail!" WAVs on my incoming message alerts every so often for a laugh. It got old more quickly every time I did it.

Yeah, I did the same. You soon discover why we stopped using them. πŸ˜†
