There are a number of old software that won't work on modern versions of Windows and old versions are no longer maintained.
Even "offline" use, e.g. in VirtualBox with no network access can be problematic; for example my XP installer comes with SP2, but it is no longer possible to download SP3 from Microsoft.
Having said that, ReactOS still needs quite a bit of work to cover that niche, in my opinion.
- xenophonf 9y agoYou can still get SP3 for Windows XP, but you have to download it directly from the Windows Update catalog: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB936929 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB936...
- mrighele 9y agoThanks a lot ! When I did a search, all the links would point to the old (deleted) pages.
