It's good, but it doesn't make me want to go in and use it instead of Windows.

I installed it in dual boot on a PC here about a week ago. Even if you keep the drivers handy for the old Windows, you may find that changes out of your control force you to Linux.

Just funny to me how this came up, but don't use an older OS unless you are dedicated to 'science' and ready for difficulties over the long term. So happy I could plop this drive back in with its modded look for XP and be right back where I was before. I am sure glad those days are over for me, but really it was still fun. I did a low level format on the drive and put it back in the closet for safe usage later. Basically, seeing how much software I had to run to manage XP in those days, I could not wait to nuke that drive. I got some to work, etc., but I could see that I couldn't piece it together for an image worthy PC state. It was a war zone of course no programs worked at first. Pulled the XP drive that I normally use, installed XP on another and then copied the directories I have over the new ones from a rescue environment. So I wanted to remember what it was like in 2012 for me when I was testing so many softs (over 200 softs installed). It's not ISO, just Program Files, Documents and Settings, and a Registry Backup. I have pieces of an old installation of XP, and I wanted to see if I could take a look at that PC state from the pieces. When I turned it on back a few days ago, Avast updated and the new avast secure browser runs amazingly in XP.like perfect. That said working on this PC is the most fun I have had in quite some time with computers. The PC is fast and great fun for all purposes on one level or another. I am having a great time with it, because I have sunk so much time and energy into the installation, but no way would I recommend this to anyone. I test computers and turned on an old XP computer (E6400 core 2 duo) a few days ago.
