2 months ago @thepwrtank18 oooo, I see. I just ran the .md through an "md to html" converter, then added some CSS, and tweaked the grid and notes at the bottom. I didn't edit any of the keys, however, I have used them on XP Retail, XP VL, and server 2003 with no issues.
Cool new projects following the deprecation notice.
I mainly made this for myself, as I spin up XP machines and install it on real hardware pretty often. Usually for development or testing of my XP compatible software, or just for fun/nostalgia, and was frustrated oftentimes having to track down the same key again (because I often don't use a physical CD where I could just write the key on it, as we used to do back in the XP days).
Also to test out converting an .md file into a decent html version of it. I have used it since then to help converting my .md version of docs to html versions on the thorium.rocks/docs page.
Thanks, and yeah I hope you're not mad. I considered it open source since it was on GitHub, even though technically the keys arent supposed to be open source, so I just copied it.
How'd you find the page/website? Is it because you are an XP enthusiast, or did you come across Thorium, or a mixture of both in the fact I recently released Thorium builds that will work on XP?
I made the GitHub gist (https://gist.github.com/thepwrtank18/4456b1a4676a26c6ef25b8e8b70e26d7) that was copied to https://thorium.rocks/winxp/keys.html.
Not mad or anything, just want to say that a lot of keys on there aren't reliable at all (some are just trial keys, some probably cause a WPA bootloop where you can't actually activate Windows, etc).
