Good decision. Windows 10 is universal s***. There's nothing good about it. Third party apps can fix 8.1 at least.

Hello nice people! Should the XP user community have a thread about the latest version of applications (and runtimes and so on) that run on well updated but unmodified XP sp3? As inspired by http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/133014-last-versions-of-software-for-windows-2000/ because more and more software editors drop the XP compatibility, so just now would be the right time to write it down. This might need someone who maintains the thread for readability, maybe to keep a front page with the raw information. What do you think?

This article (polish only, sorry): http://www.fixitpc.pl/topic/49-zabezpieczenia-robaczywe-ataki-poslaniec/ Describes SMB and corresponding ports as a threat to the 2000/XP/2003. Although it is based on old data (see last post update) it describes things somehow similar to the ones corresponding to the bug patched by M$ this week, i mean RCE using SMB. Post do not say, which SMB it is, but I guess that v1.0 is what will appear in older systems If you are paranoid and do not share files, folders and printers over network, simply block the corresponding ports. If you are just cautious, just be sure to hide your LAN behind router and follow most common good practices (do not open shady sites and files etc.) and you should be fine. You are not worth being APT target

One would think that they can't to go any lower than this, but I'm sure they'll manage. EDIT - LOL just for the pleasure I wonder if a simple trick like this registry tweak could be enough to give them the finger.

A lot of updates are like this, they do not do a real good job of explaining the things they correct. They seem to rely on people needing to know what they are doing, or in the usual case, install it if you don't know. When I first read this update, it sticks out to me (from my own experience) with SMB that you are then dealing with an in-network vulnerability. So, say some other system on your LAN sends a request to the unpatched system, then it could exploit whatever. BUT I do not know if you could fool Windows into responding to an SMB request through localhost, so then no other computers on the local network be needed. Update catalog only shows this for Vista, 2008 and POSReady2009. That Embedded variation, not being that different from XP (it installs like Vista) then the "cry rivers" response is because there is no way to update XP x64... Or Server 2003 which would be more of a concern. SMB is available in SP1 at least.

- Will be nice an option to make text on titlebar aligh on center etc. if possible like in old builds - Is there a way to hidden the white vertical line on the right bottom corner of systray ? It's pretty ugly with glass themes. - An option to disable the existence of debug.log in c:\ - the options of old explorer + the colouring\trasparence of the systray like do classic shell etc. Chooo

For a long time I've been sceptical about Windows 10 being crap. Until this day. Now I understand. I've had Windows 10 for a couple days and...yeah. It looks crap, performs like crap and sounds like crap. Okay the 'looks like crap' is relative, I know. Some people may love this semi-opaque pale boring effed up flat s*** look but not me. I totally hate the way it looks and sounds. Yes, the system sounds get on my nerves. Uninstalling.

. After yesterday's updates, the build of Windows rises to version 14393.953.

Build AeroGlass .834, Windows 10.0.14393.953 x64. Same error [0x210:0x116C] DWM incompatibility error 0x5 Edit: Sorry, needed 2 reboots but AeroGlass still injected!
