A few of us over on IRC would really like to meet up over the summer in the UK. I want to open it up to the rest of Neowin. We were thinking perhaps somewhere in the middle of the country perhaps Oxford, but we are open to suggestions.

If you are interested post in this thread and we will see how many people we have interested.

----

After seeing the poll results, London on the 18th August is unanimous!

London - 18th August - 12:00 - outside the Covent Garden Apple Store!

Mark it in your diaries!

Oxford is boring, just ask DaveLegg. :p

Oh you!

On a serious note, it'll probably involve drinking, and I can't legally be served yet, so sadly that counts me out from the hilarities.

Neowin meetup without alcohol? If I were to go I would make sure that wouldn't be the case.

Not everyone will be drinking, but yes perhaps when you're 18? I'm not sure how well it would go down with work if I was seen in a pub with a 16 year old :p

Pfft, I can pass for someone on their way to university if I wear something smart, but point taken none the less. :p

I think you should all walk around with a printed out version

of your display picture and sig pinned to your jacket

:p

You'd be easy to recognise with a Netscape logo attached to your jacket. Not sure about the animated comets though!

I probably wouldn't need to have my display picture (also my XBox Live avatar) attached to my jacket though. I've been

told that it looks about 90% like the real me anyway ... well, sort of!

There should be a rule: The entire length of the get-together, everyone has to refer to everyone else as their username only :D

Oh, and there will be no cake, the cake is a lie

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
