Fossamail for XP x86 and x64 [Server 2003]
Posted: 2016-08-14, 08:40
Okay, so a lot of folk say the "XP"s are dead but, the way I always run them, they're clean, concise, multi-purpose, fully-functioning OSes with a high level of HW compatibility.
I now use XP OSes as a fallback for specific tasks, as I use certain Linux OSes for others.
There is nothing wrong with those OSes and they are not more vulnerable to probing, data-harvesting or being hijacked to become a bot-net attack node than any other OS as long as you disable all MS' own backdoor ports, services and scripting vulnerabilities which they included with the intent of serving themselves.
I've currently installed Thunderbird to my primary XP x64 environment as there is no available Fossamail alternative - even an x86 one.
