    You just reminded me I still have an inspection camera which can only work with software that requires Windows XP, last time I used it I had to run it on a virtual machine on my laptop, it’s been a few years, I probably don’t have the VM anymore. The camera works perfectly, I wish I’d paid the extra for the one with its own screen.

      A lot of manufacturers just didn’t give a rat’s ass about 64bit drivers. Those devices are the ones that are usually stuck on Windows XP. That happened well into the Vista era (which already came with a 64bit edition*), it’s infuriating.

      *XP also had a 64bit release, but it wasn’t widely adopted.
