You keep posting more links to the same hack.

Is that the reason you think the hack is a good

idea -- because it's mentioned a lot online?


Possible because it seems to work...so far... And remember

from your own cite
In short, you use the updates at your own risk.
But just because these POSReady updates will probably work
with your Windows XP machine doesn't mean you should do it.
Yes, Microsoft has a vested interest in getting you to
upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 - but, to be fair, unless you have
a really important reason for sticking with XP, it really
does make sense to upgrade to Windows 7.

If you do use the hack, don't assume that your XP machine
will be safe from exploits. There's also every chance that,
one day, one of the updates will make your system unbootable
