Faikee doesn't do leaks.

And hounsell leaked it, not sure who the original source of the leak was, but hounsell is the one who is sharing it.

 

I wanted rebuttal on part "who leaked it?". Not that, Faikee leaked it. He is quite knowledgeable guy in this domain at least in my eyes.

The bugs that might have caused this build to not be released is:

  • The mail, people, and calendar apps do not work.
  • Folders with a large amount of items in the start menu crash the start menu sometimes.

 

And I actually LIKE most of the changes between this build and 9926 - I'm not so change-averse that moving a quarter-inch is a "sin" - in fact, if you look at "tech" and "enthusiast" sites about Windows, a lot of these changes have been asked for.  However, there are still a lot of folks that seem to like using Windows as a "whipping post" - yet these same users are change-averse to the point of hostility.  (Basically, they complain that Windows is too "dull and boring" - yet they try and keep Windows itself as "dull and boring" as possible, by objecting to ANY sort of change - such as the new OOBE (Microsoft is NOT taking itself as seriously as it is known for - that is, in act, directly related in the OOBE; it's like the change in Pepper Potts in IM2 and later - some folks are not able to deal).

They changed the pie chart but they should really change the whole properties dialog box/window. This should happen system wide, they all need to be redone now.

Nice post, thanks.

I'm with others and am resisting the urge to install this. There must be a reason that MS hasn't pushed this build out to us. I'm waiting for the official build, hopefully with Spartan.

Why on Earth are they going out of their way to make it so ugly though? Since Windows 8, they've gradually taken the slick and polished UI of Windows 7 and dumbed everything down into a flat 1 color look that is really boring. I don't know why a company the size of Microsoft can't afford to hire a team of graphic artists to design an aesthetically pleasing UI.

No , but ... many of us will try it , so I'm glad someone tells the true about a buggy OS .

Bearing in mind that any W10 build was plenty of bugs ... I was hugely ironic ... Sorry , bro . :D

It is pretty awesome what is being done with Internet Explorer - maybe this is part of the solution to the App Gap - if the App's don't come to the platform the platform will come to the Web. Interesting that Google is working towards making the difference between an application and online website to the point that end users wouldn't not be able to differentiate - maybe that is the part of the long term relationship Google has with Microsoft - that expending resources on a YouTube application would be better spent improving their website and Microsoft improving its own web browser to be able to deliver a top notch experience.

Oh yes, it is nice to see that part of Microsoft's current strategy is blurring the line between applications and the Internet. The company had similar lofty goals during early development of Windows Vista when it was still known as "Longhorn," and later with XAML browser applications.

English is his second language. Trying to speak it is probably already hard enough. Please don't make it harder on him.

 

English may be his second language, but he clearly knows it well. You need to go back and look at his posts to see he is clearly trying to troll or just has issues with things that don't go exactly how he wants.

 

I had more to say about this person, but it's not worth it. You can just view his past posts in this thread to see that he's trolling. Well, he attempted to anyway.

 

He knows what he is doing and it didn't really fool anyone here so he tried playing dumb to get out of it.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
