Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP x64 Edition - Release Thread
Wow, Thank you I never thought it's over here. I'll keep it.
I run XPx64, Win8.1m, Xubuntu BTW
But I still fond of playing something with XPx64

Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP x64 Edition - Release Thread
I'll be keeping it going for a while longer btw. But keep in mind that NT5x support in the codebase is going to progressively get tougher to retain as time goes on but I shall do my best!
Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP x64 Edition - Release Thread
Awwww darn! Now I wonder if I should go back to Windows XP x64 Edition (I REALLY loved that OS, and my HP xw8200 Workstation ran PERFECTLY on it.). But I've now fully switched over to Vista. Damn!
I wonder how long you'll be able to make a go of it. I wish you the best on that endeavour.

Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP x64 Edition - Release Thread
If you made the switch to Vista then it would be trivial and highly beneficial to switch to Windows 7 in the near future as that will be the last "pure" Windows version that will be supported the longest. Besides main-line Pale Moon x64 will work better due to the improvements in NT6 vs my little contribJodyThornton wrote:Awwww darn!

Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP x64 Edition - Release Thread
Oh I know. Actually my system runs Vista really well (I find the x64 build with SP2 integrated runs very well, contrary to what Vista haters would have you believe.) And I dislike the Windows 7 taskbar changes. So I have support to 2017 which is still a ways off. Then at that time, if Windows 9 looks promising, I'll jump.
I guess it's just that Windows XP x64 ran REALLY well on my particular system. And I have found a source for patched post-April updates, and now your browser. Makes me almost want to go back....lol. But then again, I've experienced all of the upgrade pains that I would need to undertake come July 2015 anyway. So I know I'm at an advantage. I just miss XP, that's all.

Off-topic:
The Windows 7 taskbar can be easily made to emulate the Vista taskbar. Right click on it and Properties, then change taskbar buttons to "Never combine" (this expands the program icons for running programs into the older-style full bars and shows name of the program - just as with Vista). Tick "Use small icons" and the bar will shrink to Vista/XP size. That's one of the things I like about Windows 7 - it's really quite tweakable out of the box.
On-topic - Thanks for this Matt. I do still use XP on one of my machines (an older dual-booting Mac Mini that just does not play nice with Windows 7 unfortunately), but alas it's only the 32 bit version, so I'll have to use the Atom version on it soon.

Same here, I use too prefer Vista SP2 x64. Never failed on me yet either with custom built PC. WinServer 2008 R1 uses same kernel, so hopefully security updates will be available to us until 2020 when server variant looses support.JodyThornton wrote:Oh I know.

By the way great build here, happy to see people still supporting XP x64 and Server 2003. I liked Windows 2003 better than XP personally
Hopefully PM will be alright on Vista for years to come. Uses NT 6 kernel like Windows 7 so I don't see why not.
Testing this out on my Windows XP x64 VM.
Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP x64 Edition - Release Thread
Vista is supported till 2017 Windows 7 until 2020
Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP x64 Edition - Release Thread
True, but here's the catch. The server variation of both Windows 7 and Vista, (Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2) will be supported until 2020. Because the 1st edition of Windows Server is built on Vista they share same update models. Theoretically it "should" be able to install security updates from MS via offline installer.Matt A Tobin wrote:Vista is supported till 2017 Windows 7 until 2020
Alright getting off topic here. Tested browser in virtual machine and it's runs smoothly. Thumbs for XP x64
