    1. [FreeHelp] WindowsXP and Modern Browsers
    2. barrycarlson via
    3. Until a couple of days ago I was using Windows 10 - until I had a HD failure (again!). Ignoring a Windows Vista laptop that is gathering dust somewhere, I went back to a trusty 12 year old Laptop running Windows XP. I enabled some homegrown security and went about cleaning out lots of redundant files/programs etc.. in order to get a little more speed out of it. I kept the old IE browsers on it and decided to see if Opera 31 would run on the XP. Well its a pretty big file - 117MB, but thats because it packs all the stuff that XP is not equipped with, and the result is that the Opera browser responds to all the current CSS. Here's a full-screen capture of a page showing one of my more recent slide-shows:- http://countjustonce.com/images/xp-opr31-rs-slides.jpg So, just because the operating system wont run IE8 and later, doesn't mean that its scrap when use is made of a multiple O/S compatible modern browser.
