I thought that this was some sort of SU concensus among the assidous MSU users.... anyway, lets put the "close as recommendation" part aside for a while, what about the tags? Should add tags based on the answers having a positive score? 6 of 8 answers have a positve score. I will add the tags and +/- of each answer in a moment. | |

Takes a ton of silicon to support something that neither Linux, Apple, nor Windows is supporting in supported versions of their respective Operating Systems. | |

| Feb 20, 2023 at 6:25 | comment | added | Ramhound | Windows XP is quickly becoming retro, I would argue, Windows 7 might get there first due to the Windows Updates that blocked processors beyond a certain product generation. Windows XP oddly didn't receive a similar block. Of course very quickly, neither will run on modern processors, I expect the ability to boot to legacy operating systems to not be possible on newer processor within 3 years. | |
