![]() A cantankerous DVDrom drive that is really picky about home burned dvds, didnt help. I am on metered data on cell hotspot so it really costs ME for all this nonsense unless I block it. They want to use your resources and bandwidth to collect your data and sell it for profit. Both ran nice, neither could support a modern full featured browser and IMHO, its pretty mandatory to be able to use extensions like NO-SCRIPT or Ghostery plus an ad blocker and self deleting cookie app so minimalist browsers not really very practical. It was from the early XP days and I had at some point put a small unofficial n-lited version of XP called TinyXP on it (last SP3 version of full bloated XP too much for it) and some old version of Puppy Linux. Last I used it, think it was pretty much as ebook reader. Yea, its really a tough old thing, refuses to die though I hadnt regularly used it in some years. Somebody on another forum mentioning this browser problem for XP. It has a 1.5ghz pentium M single core and its maxxed out at 1.25GB RAM. I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-50 circa 2002. Now You: Are you affected by the decision (Opera's or Google's)? The update has only been made available for Windows as there are not "significant numbers of users of Opera 12 and Opera Mail on non-Windows platforms". Opera 12.18 and Opera Mail were updated fixing several security issues and settings in those classic programs that did not receive updates for two years before the recent update. Opera Software pushed out an update for the classic version of Opera. No security patches are released by Microsoft for the operating system to the general public after that last patch day. It is rather surprising that companies are dropping support for Windows Vista, considering that the operating system is still supported by Microsoft.Įxtended Support for Windows Vista ends on April 11, 2017. Opera 36 is currently tested in the beta channel and Opera 37 on the Developer channel. Opera 35 Stable was released this week which means that it will take a while before that version is upgraded to version 36. Opera suggests to upgrade to a recent operating system to benefit from feature additions to newer versions of the web browser. The maintained version of Opera 36 won't receive any feature updates from that point on though. Opera Software will create security and crash fixes for Opera 36 even after the stable branch of the browser moved on to Opera 37 and newer versions. The support length is unknown but support will end eventually. ![]() Otherwise, we will have Opera 36 for you. You will no not be able to run Opera 37+ on Windows XP and Vista, we advise you update to more recent OS. While Opera 36 will be last one with features additions on Windows XP and Vista, we are still going to provide security and crash fixes to XP and Vista platform. Opera Software, unlike Google, plans to maintain Opera 36, the last compatible version for systems running Windows XP or Vista, so that users who are running XP or Vista can continue using the web browser. It seems every other Win release is a bit of a dud.The reason why support is being dropped in Opera 37 is Google's announcement back in 2015 that it would end support for Windows XP and Windows Vista starting April 2016. According to the sources, the start menu is being added back to the Windows 8 OS just a few months from now and the fact that Windows 8 "is" a more secure OS than Windows 7 is sort of a no-brainer since you can now boot directly to the desktop.īy then one can safely upgrade from Win 7 to Win 9. The point is, if you are debating purchasing a new Windows computer, buying a Windows 7 system might not be the wisest choice. Whether MS will choose to extend it or not remains unclear. I also learned today from the WW show that support for Windows 7 will cease in March of 2015 (that's only two years). Depending on the usage you can have a faster, more secure, reliable and up to date system for free. but windows is not the only operating system. there's really no option.I agree withe the first part.
