... or at least the first half hour of episode 1.
Poor dialog, poor acting, poor effects, poor characters, even poor ears on the elves - it doesn't seem to have much going for it at all. Too tedious to watch the rest of the first episode, I don't think I'll watch any more.
Any one watched and liked it?

Yeah we watched the first episode and pretty much came to the same conclusion.
Not going to watch any more of them.

Wow - it was advertise as the most expensive tv series ever... Can't they make some decent ears for that money?

Well, tastes differ I suppose. I enjoyed it. It's not the greatest show I have ever watched but it was entertaining enough for me.

We watched the first two episodes last night and quite enjoyed it. Visually appealing, filling in a bit of the lore in LOTR, it was alright.

I have watched the first two episode and my assessment so far is that "it's ok".
What I wasn't too keen on was that the elves dialogue appeared to be in, what I would describe as, something attempting to mimick Shakespearean English - although that seemed to reduce in the second episode, or I became familiar with it.
I am not too keen on the 3 or more storyline threads running at the same time, I would rather they stick with one thread without too many cuts - maybe even dedicating each episode to a thread.
The cinematography is at least fairly good.

I’m going to watch a few episodes and decide. What bugged me most was that episode one had no resemblance to anything from LOTR or the Silmarillion except for a few of the names.

I bought an old version Excel 5.0 on Windows 3.1 from eBay.
Can it be running on Windows XP?

It should run on Windows XP through Windows 10, as long as you're using the 32 bit version of Windows. It won't install or run on any 64 bit version of Windows.

Why not a VM? I've got old software that will never be updated, will not run on anything newer than Windows 7, IE9, .NET from 2009 and has activex dependencies, version specific SQL Express dependencies (and more). Getting all the specific software set up took a week p/time, mostly hunting for specific versions of things that don't exist anymore.
With a virtualbox VM, I simply run the image on whichever computer is most convenient. For example, last night I ran the image on a Linux laptop. In 10 years, that software will still be working because the image is effectively read-only and will never change.

I have many too.
I just find it more convenient to use whichever laptop is available rather than hope that the laptop I left in storage 3 years ago still works. Using a VM lets me use whatever is available.

There's a simple way to find out.

I think I understood your meaning, but I do want to figure out some good ways to test my Excel version 5.0.

Install DosBox and install Windows 3.1 on it - it runs, I did it for a very old Decision Management Software for my wife. You can also prepackage it so you can have it running everywhere, even on Linux and Mac.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Every time I come across some discussion about social justice warriors and "wokeness" I come to the conclusion this is 100% against a simple but fundamental value I was taught about when I was a kid: Tolerance.
I don't see how these can co-exist. Am I wrong?
