For future reference, when trying to navigate computer voice menu systems, speakerphone is much harder for the computer to process than the phone's internal mic. Also, when you're using touchtones, push the number buttons longer, and mute the microphone. It helps keep the signal clean for the computer to process the beeps. Source: 20 years working with telco Voice Response apps.

[@brunoshure]

But the mic is the same... 🤔 There's only the internal mic unless he was using headphones (which he wasn't).

[@DanCojocaru2000]

@@brunoshure When using speakerphone, the phone applies some noice canceling in order for the audio from the speaker to not be sent back. That's why audio is a bit worse for the receiving side when speakerphone is used.

Fun fact - There is a lot of software that still relies on XP and even older operating systems. This is why the activation is still important. If Microsoft shut it down, many services, such as gas and electric companies, process controls and others essential services would no longer have the ability to operate. Some of this software is so sophisticated and complex that recreating it with current versions of Windows would be too expensive.

[@ethanwasme4307]

nope, they're left to fend for themselves literally

[@PhrostyGaming]

@@ethanwasme4307 You are correct in the sense of support, however, activation is still available for any older version of Windows that requires it, this will never change.

[@syarifairlangga4608]

Its not that complex. The problem is requirement. Windows XP is just so light and some old Machine arent upgradable

[@PhrostyGaming]

@@syarifairlangga4608 You are thinking to narrowly. I work for a process controls company, and can bet every dollar I have that if Windows XP or or 2000 were to stop working, every gas company in North America would shut down. This is due to how tightly engrained it is into how their systems work. The issue is extremely complex, period.

[@JarnoKai]

I''ve worked with a lot of industrial machinery that runs windows 2000 and windows XP. I don't doubt at all that the original manufacturers have absolutely no plans of upgrading the machines to support newer versions of Windows. Whoever thought running a bunch of pneumatics and motors on Windows would be a good idea is beyond me...

They have to keep this alive for legal reasons, or otherwise people would complain that they cannot use software that they purchased. (Later software gets around this by including a clause in the Terms of Service that it's "licensed, not sold". Adobe learned this the hard way when they were forced to deactivate the activation servers for their CS2 products from 2005 for technical reasons, and as the software's ToS didn't have that clause, they had to release the whole suite DRM-free for anyone to download online.)

[@kentreed2011]

It should be like this, if a company isn't going to maintain a product or make it available for purchase then it should be publicly released. Imagine "buying" or "investing" in a software (whether it be a videogame or work program) to find out you can't use it anymore because the company behind it stopped existing or they decided to remove it entirely and hence not allowing you to use it because it requires internet connection.

Windows XP will NEVER die! I use it and enjoy it in a virtual machine every day. It is the most iconic OS Microsoft has ever released. XP was so popular back in the day (and rightfully so), that Microsoft had to support it for literally 12.5 years (or 17.5 years for ESU), which is a significantly longer lifespan than any other OS ever released. XP was the sole version of Windows to include ONLY improvements compared to its predecessors, in every single aspect -- stability, security, performance, appearance, interface, features, customizabilty, and more. Unlike any other version of Windows, XP did not remove any useful features and gave you complete and total freedom to customize the look and feel of your PC without having to rely on some hacks or third-party tools. Not to mention its unique and iconic sounds, as well as its default desktop background, which is by far the most calming and beautiful among all Windows versions. It actually became the most recognizable picture in the world, thanks to XP's huge popularity and people's understandable refusal to upgrade for so many years. For these reasons (and many more), XP will always have a special place in the hearts of so many people. Even today, 22.5 years after release and a full DECADE after support ended, XP is still used on approximately 9 million PCs around the world. It is insane, but not really surprising given how perfect this OS is!

In my experience, some (foreign country) touch tone systems have trouble picking up the touch tones when you are on speakerphone and your side is not muted. apparently the static noise is too high or the system may pick up echo of the tones played locally (if your phone does). Mute your side and recognition will be better instantly. (The touch tones will still be sent).

4:00 maybe try holding the numbers for a second or two. That way the sound of the number (it just sends a specific tone for each digit) is transmitted longer and has a better chance of being picked up properly. It always works for me.

[@tomass6432]

Interesting

[@vkristof1]

Thanks. I did this 3/16/23 and was impressed. In my specific case I had a P2V (Physical to Virtual) VM (specifically a Dell Latitude D830 from 2008) that has a Dell OEM Windows license. When running in VMWare Workstation (on a recent Dell desktop running W10) the XP OEM VM needed to be activated (safe bet that XP noticed a significant HW change going from the 2008 laptop to the VMWare VM). I called the number, spoke to the bot and had the bot text me the Microsoft generated magic numbers. The VM activated. I was very concerned that it wouldn't work in the VM due to the Dell OEM XP version, but it did in this case (maybe becauue of some kind of Dell BIODS/UEFI pass-thru???) . Why do this in 2023? We have OLD HW/SW that ONLY runs on XP. This was just a test with a scrap laptop: the VM and actual laptop will be scrapped/recycled.

That dog and poney show certainly brought back unpleasant memories. Don't feel bad, I live in America and speak excellent English and still had trouble with the bot understanding me and that was a long time ago. I think one time I even tried saying the numbers phonetically like they do in the military but no good. You really have to have the patience of Jobe to do this sort of thing. By the way, I've got two copies of XP which I've been thinking of installing on a newer computer, plus a Dell Latitude with XP already on it, man, I love that OS.

[@iggytse]

That brings back memories. The automated phone activation when I did it back years ago seemed more reliable, probably because I did it on a landline calling a local number.

@Enderman: My Experience was that the activation phone bot was a bot anytime. But the old one was without voice recognition, so you always had to type in the numbers, which worked everytime and i prefered (in combination with a real phone with real keys that also means you could type the number blind and be faster). Because voice recognition sucks no matter what.
