I wonder how far back this goes...In other words, besides the "clipper chip" thing we all heard about years ago, I wonder if this crap is not present in say an XP era processor. Anybody know? You can still run a lot of stuff on an XP era machine....I have several running legacy chit...
Heh, just saw Steam won't run on anything less than windows 10 by year end. Looking into changing all remaining machines to Linux, and/or building my own. My brothers ahead of me on that.
