I use to update it well after it was replaced, I think ATM's used it for a long time and you had to get those. I would have to fire up old xp comp to get url but I was thinking about doing it tomorrow anyway just to see whats on it.
ATMs used Windows XP Embedded, and later POSReady. That was updated for quite some time, but the updates were presented in a different channel and consumer XP couldn't see them.
Oh yes we could, security updates lasted till I quit using it. If I still have the url I will post it tomorrow after firing up old comp.
Sure, you could do registry hacks and use other methods, but right out of the box XP wouldn't update with that channel.
My biggest problem with XP is I made a complicated truecrypt pw. Of course I dont remember it.
Go for it. I would love to go back in time and boot up some old PCs I don't have anymore. I wrote a database system in C back in the 90s I would love to get my hands on but it's lost forever.
I think I still have an evil dead thing on it that gave you a chainsaw curser that bled when loading.
