What Do We Need to Know About Yesterday's Technology?

[rado84]

People keep installing XP! What sort of hillbilly backwater do you live in?

Bulgaria is  in a different time zone I believe?

Tubby, I know, I've been thinking the same thing myself. I can't make them realize XP is a bucket of horse shit. They've used it for over 10 years and they like it (facepalm) despite its "nice" habit to hang and BSOD out of the blue. But the majority of Windows users are total noobs and it's more likely all of the theists in the world to be converted into atheists in a night than these noobs to understand why Windows 7 and above OS are way better than this... this... Stone Age obsolete bucket of bytes.

Ignoramus, you can say that - both literally and figuratively (the latter applies especially for operating systems). Atm it's 01:49 (10th of July) here - for the literal part. As for the other part, it's the communism's fault for that. At times when USA had color TV we didn't even know what color TV was. Technological catching-up with the rest of the world began after democracy stepped in in 1989.

That's kind of odd, considering Microsoft recommended NTFS for XP installations.  I ran it that way for years without a problem, at least related to the file system.

I can see running into memory issues if you're trying to run NTFS on a big ass disk with insufficient memory, but that's not an issue limited to NTFS.

I could write a doctorate on what's the difference in the performance of Windows XP when running on FAT and NTFS and why FAT is better. But I'm too lazy to do that.
