maybe in a different vm because this sounds like the best horrible idea i’ve seen in a while

Most likely it won't work as very few websites will work with XP's level of SSL security these days.

Firefox/mypal bundles its own SSL stack

major geeks looks like it hasn’t been touched since ‘05 so there is some hope for IE

I was going to suggest another antivirus from tucows but turns out that site has been dead for quite some time.

Damn, I opened the post to ask where you got that theme and what DE it is.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

You guys must be joking. Fuck I feel old.

Also now I kind of want a WinXP DE on Linux lol.
