After my most recent attempt at installing XP on a virtual machine, I am very confident in saying that I don’t wanna deal with it ever again.
Getting VMware tools to work on it still doesn’t fix the incredibly choppy framerate, activating it is an absolute mess, getting software to run on it oftentimes leads to a crash, increasing the DPI settings to match my monitor’s resolution makes it look even worse than it does in the default settings, oh and speaking of looks, the Luna theme is garbage.
I’m pretty sure I never had any of these problems as a kid, so I wonder how it got so buggy. Even Vista doesn’t work as intended (it always worked amazingly in my experience). I ended up sticking with Windows 7 on my virtual machine, since once I installed VMware tools, it works perfectly.
