I had a spare Windows XP License/DVD around from an old PC that doesn't exist anymore, and, half a year ago, installed that into a Virtualbox VM, updated it to SP3 with all current patches, and installed, just for the memory of good ole' times, Oracle DevSuite, Designer, Forms, Reports. But haven't used it for a while, and doubt that I'll ever have to.

But anyway, when official XP support ends in April, I'm going to make a backup of the VM and archive it in a safe place. You never know... Probably sometime, I might enjoy playing around with that ancient stuff. Maybe I should also install a 10g DB or even 9i DB in that VM?! ;-)
