Recently, Microsoft announced that Windows XP SP3 and Office 2003 are due for ending of support. This can mean disastrous outcomes for users of these softwares, such as bugs will not be fixed anymore, hackers will find it easy to hack your pc, Microsoft will no longer accept ANY responsibility for use of these products. And a fair amount more.

 

Microsoft have provided 2 solutions: 

1. Upgrade to a newer Microsoft OS, such as Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8(.1)
2. (Microsoft did not say this, but it's obvious) Leave Microsoft entirely and join another OS, such as Linux/Mac. Or Ubuntu, of which is free. (This option is not preferred by players of 8BitMMO)

 

Sorry for any inconvenience Microsoft may have caused.

For example: I upgraded to Vista.

My old elementary school tried that, they became slower than the Heavy from TF2. My middle school has pretty old OS too.

OP, this is old news.

OLD NEWS?!?! It is what? 4 months till they stop support and yet over 95% of the people I've told so far haven't known!!

 

abt79, Windows 95 is ancient... doubt it's still supported (unless it is?)

 

Also, kkfenix, why the hell would you pirate XP? I'd understand 7.... but not XP!!

Lol, my school's already Win7, and they're slow as the slowest snail in existence...

I can't run Windows 7, beause I have 1GB RAM, and my graphic card has turbocache which means it uses RAM as video memory (or something like that), and Window 7 takes 1GB RAM itsellf...

In one of my drawers I have a processor which "lets you enter the 64 bit computing future".

 

Also why do you have such an ancient machine? You could build something that can run W7 easily, and you could always torrent Windows 7 ask your University/School for a copy of Windows. When I signed up for one of my courses, I got 1 license for each version of Windows.

New PC requires $$$, which I don't have a lot  of. Also, my brother has a pretty good PC that just needs to be fixed.

 

The problem with his PC is that the keyboard doesn't work before the OS boots, so he now can't install a new OS, and is currently running Fedora 10 (not sure how he installed it, but I think we've got a CD so just clicked install to hard drive). FYI, Fedora 10 SUCKS! There isn't even flash player for it...

[kkfenix]

Lol, Fedora 10 is like from 2008/2009 or something.

I'm sure you could get Flash, you could install Chromium and use flash pepper.

I will tell my brother! Thanks.
