I still have a soft spot for Windows 7. Installed it on my old ThinkPad today with drivers and Legacy Update.

Features nobody asked for: You can now subscribe to Legacy Update news as an Internet Explorer Web Slice. It adds a button to your Favorites bar that updates to show our latest news article.
Just click the green button in the toolbar (it’s green to show that Internet Explorer is really excited a website is actually using this feature), or the Add Web Slice link in our News section.

@kirb I'd imagine people have been reporting this for awhile, but #LegacyUpdate setup seems broken on Win2k. I get an error message saying "Failed to register Legacy Update ActiveX control: Access is denied." near the end of the install. Happens on a fresh Win2k SP4 installation, both with VMs and real machines.
Any known workaround?

The Register: Legacy Update expands archive of vanished Microsoft downloads. “Legacy Update has for years been a tremendously useful site and tool for those wanting to keep older versions of Windows alive and in active use. The site has updated its archive of files that Microsoft used to make available for free download in the official Download Center, but has in its finite wisdom removed.”

I think I've found an edge case in #legacyupdate
It can't install Windows Vista SP1. I'm using an SP0 RTM install media, but it's completely failing to progress past this screen (it's been running for 12 hours)
(Replicated in VM *and* Hardware)

Cat who's installing a bunch of updates on a fresh #WindowsXP install in a VM #LegacyUpdate #RetroComputing

@kirb A new version of the tool was just uploaded with some small tweaks.
1. DLL registration/unregistration pop-ups will no longer appear. The install/uninstall process will now run silently.
2. Before installing or uninstalling Legacy Update, the tool will now check if it is necessary to do so.
3. A minor correction has been made in the main menu, which referred to a 32-bit version of Windows 11, which of course doesn't exist. #LegacyUpdate https://www.seedy.gq/programs/lnst -
If you use, or are interested in, the #LegacyUpdate project by @kirb and wish to try it on #Windows7, #Windows8, #Windows10 or #Windows11, I've written a little tool that should help you get it running. The process for installing Legacy Update is a bit different starting with Windows 7, and the official Legacy Update installer doesn't yet support these newer Windows versions. The tool can be found here: https://www.seedy.gq/programs/lnst/

I mean it's #WindowsXP, Michael! What could it need? 8GB?
#LegacyUpdate is amazing... (thanks @kirb) but nearly four hundred Windows Updates later, I'm out of drive space. Lol.

I know this isn't Linux related, but I stumbled upon this neat video by MJD, showing us how to give Windows XP a longer life using #LegacyUpdate .. Came in handy for my XP VM (Old Games) .. #xp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5faA4ph4Fo8
