An XML file contains tags that specify how the document should be structured and how it should be stored and transmitted over the internet. It is no longer the preferred method for organizing and transmitting data, but many legacy systems still use it. Also, both RSS and SVG are based on the XML format.
As I've mentioned in a couple of other threads, here on the Win XP Forums, we have a project coming up that involves old 32-bit abandonware that was written for - and is well know to work very well with - Windows XP. Having been away from PCs, in general, for over a dozen years, I don't know much at all about Windows operating systems post Win 7.
After searching for quite a while now, it's became very apparent that finding a decent Intel 6th gen laptop PC that will support Win 7 is much easier than finding a decent Intel 3rd gen Win XP laptop that's reliable - ask me how I know this.
Obviously, a newer laptop PC is usually preferred over an older model, so what's the problem? The problem is that the "abandonware" I'm referring to is highly XML-dependent, so I'm being told that it will only run on an Win XP PC - not a Win 7 PC.
My gut is telling me that we should be experimenting with an Intel 6th gen laptop PC - with Windows XP Mode installed - which brings me to my question: Does anyone know if the actual processing/handling of XML files changed after Windows XP?
