Win XP system, Foobar2000 and Boom problem

[LightBit]

Another academic question while we are at it: why is American programming so insanely bloated?

Nobody really cares and it boosts hardware sales.

Maybe I am the only one who finds it disgusting.

Doing online purchases with your credit card number, logging in to various sites like email services, and even banking?

Those are web browser facilities, but you would not go so far as to revert to an obsolete inferior grade, would you?

Inferior grade what?
The things I mentioned are obviously done via the browser yes, but that is about as bad as it gets. On XP you are forced to use old (and hence unsafe) browsers, which then run on an unmaintained networking stack and an unmaintained kernel. Anything unmaintained becomes more and more unsafe, when new vulnerabilities are discovered and not fixed.

The browser is up to date otherwise it would not be widely usable. In my case, the browser is roughly the size of the operative system.

Windows XP is an outdated system that no one now focuses on.All programs and applications are made exclusively for new systems or that have not yet lost popularity such as with Win7 x64 with Win8 Win10

Thank you for the information.
