Yeah... okay... showing off multiple games, the OS, the new controller and how it works is close to vaporware.

Uh yea... Windows Longhorn showed multiple demos etc etc. and it is a classic vaporware. I said sony came close to that. I don't think anybody has actually seen the complete OS yet (I might have missed it though).

Did you just bring up Longhorn to compare (even if not 1:1) with the PS4? Woahzers, today's entertainment for sure. The OS featured pretty prominently in the demonstration, would of been hard to miss. It was shown in February, to not expect any tweaks or changes between then and the end of the year would be incredibily naive, and dumb, from a software developers point of view - If you somehow expected "complete" 7 months from release, or are hinting at that.

Sometimes I forget I'm on Neowin here, you know, a tech/software website....

Exactly. To argue that a gaming console reveal could even be considered vapoprware because they did not focus on elements of the OS is ludicrous. It is a GAMING console, they have shared the fact their emphasis is on games, so seriously who cares about exact details of the OS. They talked about the new details that would be related to gaming, so what else do we need to see? How Netflix is going to look? What the settings screen for advanced networking configuration looks like? No. We will learn that (pretty damn irrelevant ****) over time. Wow. Just wow.

You do realize that Longhorn was the code name for Windows Vista, which was actually released to the public, correct?

That's not vaporware.

Actually it wasn't Vista is more like Longhorn Mk2, Longhorn was scrapped and they started over with Vista which actually had a different codename.

LOL. Yes I did. Longhorn was a vaporware because most of the demos were not real. If you read my post again, I didn't call PS4 a vaporware. As I said, the only OS features I saw were sharing screens so I probably missed the other parts.

Working as an enterprise software developer, I think I know how software development works. So don't be condescending on that.

And for the record, if Microsoft doesn't show the box in action today - I will call them out on it (as if it matters to "M$" :laugh:).

I know but the end result (Vista) was nowhere near to what was shown (features wise) and almost everything shown in 2003 was vaporware.

No. I care about if they actually have a prototype in place for the box. Do they have the system architecture finalized. I haven't seen a single technical breakdown by anyone outside. I am referring to the detailed architecture breakdowns done by ars for PS3 and Xbox 360 when they were announced.

No, it always kept the same codename right up until they gave it the official name of Vista. The big difference internally was that it was called Longhorn "D1" for a while after the development reboot.

Perhaps because the XBox official specs haven't been announced?

So you've never heard of devkits? The devkits have been broken down many a time prior to the release announcement, where do you think all the hardware rumours of the past year have come from? Also, you kind of have to have a working unit when Killzone is demoing live on your stage :rolleyes:

This teaser video now also shows the retail box is most likely finished... Seriously, why was the word vaporware even brought up? It's not even like it or whatever you were trying to get at.

I was referring to PS4, I can't find PS3 article easily but here is the Xbox 360 I referred earlier.

Uh...devkits what about them? Yea they probably have it done "today" - I was referring to their event in February and that they should have waited when everything was a bit more mature (not final obviously). Do you understand the difference?

So what was Killzone and Knack running on in February? Magic?

And you fully expect MS to have absolutely everything done tonight? Because you know, if it's all done, why don't they release the console next month? :rolleyes:

Because games and testing.

The final hardware which was shown assembled, broken down and working, needs months of testing and then production, and of course the games.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
