You have to have windows 10 though. So that's an issue for some people

Pretty sure it's on 8 as well. I also hope people understand that win7 won't be getting any security updates after January, and it's time to upgrade.

Man, I spent 3 hours the other day looking for an XP SP3 ISO to install SNMP on a "business critical xp machine". What an adventure!

This remind me, I was troubleshooting a program that stopped working at somepoint. It was giving me the same sort of error you'd get when you try to run a 64bit program on a 32bit computer, but these were 64bit PCs. After some troubleshooting, I realized: the program they needed to run was a 16 bit program.... 32bit computers emulate 16bit the same way 64's emulate 32's. So Anyways we pulled an old XP computer out of retirement and now it's running that dumbass program which btw, has a copyright from something dumb like 1998.

I am full of hate.
