Again this XP debate. And again and again.

Who cares about XP anymore? 2%? 3%?

XP can't even correctly manage modern hardware and amount of memory needed to make some video conversion.

Let's be serious.

Anyway, nobody wants to prevent Pinterf to release dual versions...

You were the first taking the bait.

You're correct about managing modern hardware.

However, XP64/WinServer2003-64 can certainly manage large amounts of memory, even more than some consumer versions of newer Windows OS's.

EDIT: Removedirt v0.9.1 looks to be XP compatible.

0.9.2 should be compatible as well, my clang builds are extras.

I really can't understand this attachment to ancient tech, like if we were in a steampunk world. There are no drivers for modern video cards or chipsets.

Nobody prevents people to drive a Ford model T car but they can't keep on asking and pretending forever to have spare parts and correct octane fuel from gas stations when they are a tiny minority.

Sometimes the price (i.e. time) to supply ancient technology the support they need becomes simply too much, if not even harmful and detrimental for the majority.

I strongly appreciate your trials to give us faster and modern products.

Not true.

I simply pointed out your false statement and you keep rambling on with metaphors.
Did someone hit you with XP product boxes when you were a boy?

Which one? Memory? I replied you with the link.

Windows 10 Home x64 128 GB

Nobody would be so dumb to upgrade to a modern os and go to Vista.

Upgrade from 7 to 10 is free. And a license for 10 is 7/10€ on Amazon. Have I to say more? You defense of indefensible is boring and illogical.

We went far OT. I will stop here.

Everything in your post is beside the point. You made a false statement, I corrected you. After that you just posted random ramblings and nonsense such as the price of Windows 10 on Amazon and that people would be dumb to use an OS that you don't like.

You argue like a 5 year old and logical thinking does not appear to be your forte so you should not accuse others of being illogical.

Oops, re-downloading ...

I like Windows 2000 best, whats the chance of a New version AVS+ RemoveDirt etc, supporting this ol' classic ?

Yeah, win2k. Good idea. One would dig out further archaic things from memories, pre-SSE2, XP, I propose all of you visiting The 25th Hour (see the books of Abarat) for ideas like supporting ZX Spectrum Ahh, it means only some extra day, perhaps weeks or years (the worst case) for programmers who are forced to maintain compatibility and do releases but it definitely worth to see the smile on the faces of the lucky ones owning a vintage hardware.

(yep, it's really a good idea to re-read Abarat - Clive Barker is a genius, I recommend you all, much better than encoding stupid series)

Where on Amazon? I saw a few Windows guides for that price, but the cheapest Win10 I found on Amazon.com was just under $100. My local computer shop (Australia) have it at $150 for Win10 Home and $200 for Win10 Pro, and that's for OEM versions, not retail.

If you don't want to "break" the OEM license agreement, you can find legitimate Windows 10 Pro ESD retail keys for 59€ here in Italy

Anyway, the smartest thing is to buy a Windows 7 Pro ESD for about 25€ and then upgrade for free by manually downloading Microsoft Upgrade Assistant, still available from Microsoft.

Mine too. I suppose we are same age

[jpsdr]

Probably globaly the same generation. Made a mistake/confusion... ZX spectrum i was more in high school. It was the ZX81 i was middle school...

Yes pinterf, can you make a ZX81 compatible version...? (And it's the good day for this kin of things)
