hehe, i remember a whole discussion wether we should include it or not (because of the spyware/adware it contained)... since we found a way to install it without the junk, we decided to include it :)

Yep, and everyone cheered! :) I love the new handwriting plugin for it... so much that I included it. lol

haha... weird!? tell me about it! i couldnt receive any msg for a few hours... then i tried to see if it works without the plugin and it works great... so i guess ill wait for the next version :p

Yeah, it seems to work fine for most, just a few have the issue. I'll keep checking in, and when they have a new version I'll update it. Either way, it beats the alternative (18 MB of fun!).

Hi all,

I came across an option in the new Feb version that I'm not familiar with, & it isn't well explained in it's description.

The option in Question is in the "Microsoft Windows XP Optional Tools & Components"section, & it is:

"Windows XP 24-bit Stereo Sound" (Description: Replaces the default XP sounds with the original 24-bit sounds)

The question:

I assume that "default XP sounds" refers to the "default XP system sounds", but what the hell is meant by "the original 24-bit sounds" ?

(I would have presumed to call the sounds being replaced as "Originals")

Can somebody please explain exactly which sounds are replaced, by which sounds?

FlishFan,

Perhaps you might look at improving this description.

Cheers.

Ah! Sorry 'bout that. When Windows XP was still Windows Whistler, they had these AWESOME 24bit stereo sounds. But when the OS went Gold, they subbed them for the crappier ones. So this tweak replaces the new crappy XP sounds with the original 24bit Stereo ones. :happy:

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
