Holidays Update: due to it being the holiday season now my schedule for development has shrunk by alot and have barely been able to find time to start work on 1.1.0 so i have made the decision to postpone the release until after new years to better focus my time on the project but for now i will be enjoy the festive season with my family

Ver 1.0.0 Will Be The Main Release For Nov/Dec

[RedBeam]

Announcement after a little bit of downtime on the project ver 1.2 has been unxpectedly cleared for early release and should be out before christmas with ver 1.1 (the christmas update part 1) already out for download

[kmuland]

congratulations for the new release!!! just some review from ver1.1

The performance of v1.1 in 2D is lower than v1.0.
Running passmark performace tests the results are the following;
v.1: score 176.3
v.1.1: score 172.8 (all the 2D test gives lower performance vs 1.0)

The overal CPU performance is anyway great on both versions... the downgrade of 2D could be cause some of the security updates that we already know that degrade system in any way? or maybe the new theme installations?

Anyway pal!! really anxious to check the next v1.2 cause this XP x64 simply flies I was microXP x86 user for years... and using x64 now it is like a new boost for this legenday OS!

the cpu performence is also a big part of how well it runs. as using something like the pentium 4 (or anything from the original xp era) is probably not the best option for a 64Bit OS to use nowadays and is also outdated already

I use for testing an atom n280 cpu netbook.... the x64 extra boost is really noticeable (example.. decoding h264 video--- >10% extra performance)

I've always heard of those just have never gotten to test one myself

do you have in mind to implement one core api on this XP x64?

https://github.com/Skulltrail192/One-Core-API-Binaries

while i do partly endorse its use i will not be implementing it into the project due to "warez" rules on the forum plus its use of officially microsoft binarys but you are free to install it yourself manually

[RedBeam]

Notice About One-Core-API Usage as i do not support or endorse the use of one-core-api i will not be adding it to the project and any requests to do so will be denied completely so Please Do Not Ask About It

[xperceniol_sal]

^I haven't even dared to attempt to try One-Core as I've read people get BSOD's a lot; so I don't blame you for forgoing it with your project. Thanks for your hard work.

XP64 is the best christmas present that I have received in years!!! The extra performance is absolutely great.. no comparison with vista 7, 8. 10---- the greatest x64 OS in M$ history is XP.
All my programs x86 and x64 running with extra performance... only noticeable with XPx64...

Dont you ever use a vista/7/8/10/11 if you want to really enjoy your computer.
XPx64 is the way to go...
dont belive in me... just install and try by yourselves

idk where those binaries are. It seems to be pretty open source using Wine code and such. Probably some weird old rumor.
