I just ran this on a Fedora machine and connected to Windows using rdesktop. It works and it's amazing. I like it. The Internet will surely be confused today with a surge of traffic from Internet Explorer 5. Incidentally, google.com still loads and allows searching; bing.com does not load.

The fact that bing.com does not load using their own browser speaks volumes about Microsoft.

Using their own outdated, unsupported browser? Why should they develop websites against a 22 year old browser version?

I wish there was an easy way to mux display usage to containers sor hat things like these wouldn't need to run an RDP server for you to access the and we could have `--display window=640x480` or `--monitor /dev/....`.

I've been using Apache Guacamole to have central access to KVM/bhyve-inside-a-container (or rather inside a zone) servers running on SmartOS.

However, I'm not using RDP at the moment as there is also VNC-access available as default that Guacamole connects to.

Windows 2000 was my favorite version of the OS. I kept it running far longer than I should reasonably have. Thanks for giving me another reason to fire it up!

I completely agree. People fondly remember XP, but Windows 2000 was peak Windows. It almost looks like a real operating system :)

Yes, it says that they are moving forward and not targeting browsers that are EOL.

This brings back great memories. Windows 2000 sparked my interest in computing. I was in elementary school and was obsessed with the 'Log on to' dropdown box on Windows login screens, and how you could use the same credentials on any PC. Somehow I managed to salvage an old computer and source myself a copy of the ISO and managed to setup an ADDS domain controller and join my mother's laptop to the domain. I went and…
