If I have to, I will build a machine that runs windows 95 just for my Minolta Dimage scanner, it was the first model and will run on a 486.
It lives on my network behind a serious dedicated firewall machine and it is never used for internet things anymore. I have an XP machine that must live on, at least until I can get my Minolta Dimage scaner working \under Linux (using WINE?). then he was resurrected, and now for a limited time McDonalds is celebrating with $1.59 filet-o-fish fridays. I liked it a lot better than 7, which I use at work. Just won't be getting on the web any more. So I'll keep using it (and XP) until it dies. XP was the last OS that would still support it. My film scanner was made in 1998, and works only under Windows. I use Linux most of the time, but I still have XP installed on a couple of computers. I even still have an IBM Thinkpad running Windows 98. Knocking on wood first, I've never had a crash on my Vista or Win 7 machines. My favorite Microsoft virus was Windows ME. Never seen a computer virus survive more than 30 seconds in the fixer. Proof there is a lot to be said for analog. Just fired up my Win 7 machine (for the sole purpose of reading this thread of course) and it belched, burped and.(well, never mind) on start-up while it frantically prepared for the end of the world and/or bravely prepared to fight off some "nosebleed" bug (or whatever it's being called). In the last days, I have read about more security holes introduced with new software, than about those that got fixed in supported previous products.

Regarding the last part: Probably as vulnerable as Windows 8 machines with slow bugfixing, but maybe more mature, stable and with less spyware/backdoors. However, with security updates no longer available, any XP machines attached to the internet will be vulnerable.

I suppose that's ok if it's in a closed, offline situation. Re: XP, yes it's still used in a lot of areas. With that in mind, I'm not surprised that this ubiquitous image was shot on film, and MF no less. Once digital surpassed it, of course, that's when we really saw the mass migration. Meaning, most digital sensors didn't have the same resolving power of 35mm film at the time. Not for cameras that the average consumer was carrying, anyway. When XP was released, we really hadn't reached the tipping point for digital yet. Though I must admit, I didn't get it either.
Yup a shot like that just could not be done without a lens that can do daylight fill flash at high sync speed, no sireee ( not very funny sarcasm intended )Ĭlassic. The lens that can do daylight fill flash at high sync speed of course, because that is like sooo super important number one priority above all other 6x7 medium format SLR that Mamiya RZ users have above all others.
So I was making a comparison between the death of XP and Film.Įven though they are "dead", they aren't going anywhere. They will no longer be offering support or security patches for that OS.ĩ0% of all ATM's and much of the business world still runs XP. Have you been in a cave this week? Microsoft officially killed XP this week. I Must say you have not mastered Digital. I have seen the diff where you shoot Digital and Film. Then why are you still here and shooting film Burnt Umber? I know you are not a Troll. Later he spoke about the engineers at Microsoft speculating about how the image was made, whether or not it was Shopped, etc., but if they had the original.? The photographer talked about Microsoft requesting the original, which he couldn't ship by any usual carrier because of the value they placed on it - the point being he was paid handsomely for the image, I suppose, and they ended up sending a plane ticket for a courier to bring it to them. There were a few things that seemed inconsistent, or self contradictory in the interview.
