From watches to passwords on paper, everything that's old is new again
This week on the Kettle, we reminisce about the good old days of Windows on XP's 25th anniversary, how new-old Casio watches could reshape the smartwatch market, and why passwords might be better on paper
Windows XP, Microsoft's operating system, recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. In this episode of The Kettle podcast, host Brandon Vigliarolo, FOSS reporter Liam Proven, and Microsoft reporter Richard Speed discussed the significance of XP in the evolution of Microsoft's operating systems and explored other retro topics.
Liam Proven remarked on the transition from Windows 9x to XP, which marked a significant improvement in stability and resource requirements. However, XP also introduced compatibility issues with older software. Richard Speed highlighted the release of XP for OEMs on September 24th and its availability in retail stores on October 24th, which marked a major milestone in Microsoft's history.
