Mypal is a good (non-period-correct) browser to run on XP; it's based on a newer version of Firefox and fixes websites, including downloading files from GitHub (and possibly watching YouTube?). But I miss the 2000s Internet, and the only thing we have left are incomplete archives and YouTube "Unregistered HyperCam 2" tutorials from decades past.

The nostalgia from those images was more than I expected. XP was "Windows" for me by and large. I used Windows 7 (skipped Vista after trying early versions) a little bit but most of my Windows knowledge came from messing around with XP. I reinstalled XP more times than I can count both for myself and for friends/family and I'll always look fondly back on it.

How slow is this? I needed x86 windows for something just after I got my M1 MBP in 2021. So I installed a copy of windows 10. I don't recall which hypervisor I used, but it was super slow.

> I couldn’t get directory sharing to work using SPICE tools, so instead I ended up creating an .iso with Firefox and all additional software I needed.
Yeah, I've run into the same issue with Win7 x64 recently. None of the QEMU guest utility drivers is running on Windows at the moment - I have no idea why.

Is modern crypto, networking and web browsing avaliable on XP through any way?

> If you’re feeling similarly nostalgic, definitely check out SerenityOS
Then from SerenityOS FAQ:
> Where are the ISO images?
> There are no ISO images. This project does not cater to non-technical users.
Not that its impossible but from their project info it requires a bit of effort to read the docs and compile the project assuming everything goes alright without hitches.
Having said that I would gladly watch some SerenityOS based content. Maybe NCommander wrecking his brains while trying to build and port something to this OS? Would be cool.
