Just a friendly suggestions to make sure this does happen if you really want it to.

One person needs to take the lead and be in charge of the event. Do not leave it open to suggestions. Set where it will definitely be. If not, it will never get done.

Good luck, but if someone does not do the above, and do it soon, going to be a thread full of nothing but people saying what they prefer it to be.

Right, so I will be in charge and will say London? London is easy to get too and I don't mind picking people up on my way down. I might even bring my wife!

Next thing is a date I'm thinking sometime in August or perhaps after the Olympics?

August sounds excellent.

How about one of the two Apple Stores?

Oh that'd I'd like to see...

"Hello, we are from NeoWIN and we set this place as our meeting point..."

Apple Store guy: "Oh-kaaaay........"

whistles to colleagues: "They have arrived, pick your weapons!"

Glassed Silver:mac

Or outside? :p

There is a huge meeting area outside the Covent Garden store.

London ... meh! So much for the middle of the country as suggested in the OP. What about any Neowin members

up in Scotland that might be interested in attending? They'll have to travel 400-500 miles or more to get there!

I'm suddenly reminded of a once popular catchy song from the 1980's by a certain Scottish pop-duo . . . !

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
