Any here running Windows XP VM's --for what it's worth firefox still working perfectly. You do get a message of "Unsupported OS but otherwise it just works OK even on modern websites with https. CPU use also absolutely just above "Negligible" even with only 2 virtual cpu's.
OE (Outlook express) still OK too -. I'm not paranoid with security -- I use the HOST for a gateway to the Internet so the XP doesn't directly connect with the Internet -- and I'm sure Putin isn't interested in hacking my bank account for a mere 300 roubles. !!!!!
It's quite fun running these older OS's as VM's - also I still have some expensive hardware which only works on XP. Not paying 20,000 USD or more to upgrade for a small part time business. (I create bespoke vinyls for people fro their music collections). Business this year almost too big to handle -- seems there's a lot of "revival" in Vinyl. The only format I hated were cassette tapes -- always getting jammed or tangled even high quality "Metal tapes" and Digital tape also was never going to be successful.
