Why is Windows XP so fucking lightning fast but Windows 10 is absolute garbage?

2019-06-10 at 5:11 AM UTCReally what the fuck is this.
Ever since Windows Vista it's all been so slow and sluggish, but WinXP is so immediate. -
2019-06-10 at 5:17 AM UTCThat's why I use it. I've been using it ever since it came out and never switched. Never had a single issue with it the whole time, never had to reinstall anything, totally compatible with all the good older stuff, and as you say, lightning fast. I just use a manually configured rule-based firewall to stifle off any and all unwanted connections and security has been flawless for years.

2019-06-10 at 6:10 AM UTCI'll check that out
also it's shameful how M$ has completely dropped support for WinXP.
You can't even download the service packs from their site anymore ... -
2019-06-10 at 6:13 AM UTCwhat the fuck I just install the amd catalyst program and nothing fucking happened.
This is about as frustrating as trying to install debian or freebsd. -

You can download the standalone service pack 3 install executable. Works perfectly.

2019-06-10 at 6:44 AM UTCTry PrivateFirewall 7.0. Very nice and free product, and a wide variety of easy-to-use blocking/enhancementing options, including process monitoring, and also a very nice customizable rule-set builder.

Privatefirewall is an integrated desktop firewall and multi-layer intrusion prevention software delivers signature-less, zero-hour protection from known or new spyware, viruses, hacking techniques and other intrusions on Windows desktops and servers.
Privatefirewall is comprised of several distinct protection layers including desktop firewall, port manager, URL enhancementing, process monitor, and application/system behavior modeling and anomaly detection components. Privatefirewall 7.0 evaluates WinAPI calls and analyzes a comprehensive list of system variables and security-sensitive registry keys and alerts administrators to possible malware, attack, or policy violations. -

the architech parts are smaller.. controlling the speed probably.. same design but smaller parts. also the ram requires a bus device? which speeds up the speed during bottle-neck of processing.
maybe .. I dont know. at one point it used to be something about how many Hertz or giga hertz the processor was and when it got to like 3.x it was lowered to 1 and 2 point x .. at some point having more creates a drag somewhere in the design? -

maybe it's your computer architecture.
The desktop I'm running XP on is 32bit, it's an intel core duo 2 from an HP pc I had in 2007. -
