New Music icon is awful. It's not easily recognizable. I think it's supposed to be a CD with a 'Play' triangle on top, but I'm not sure? Eitherway, using a CD is extreamly dated.

 

I prefer the old icon as well. Weird change.

What is Windows 10 like so far on high-dpi displays? Windows 8.1 was a hopeless disaster so I'm hoping that things have been sorted out in Windows 10.*

 

 

 

 

* Not talking about third party software but the base operating system and bundled applications.

XP is almost gone, it'll drop under Windows 8.1s market share by August and keep dropping.

14 years after I first started using it... 

 

If that's the timetable you have in mind, I guess it's possible that the Control Panel will be gone by 2030 ;) Unfortunately I'm sure it'll live alongside Settings for a long long time.

You're right, but if I were you I wouldn't try correcting others grammar when you can't speak/type it very well yourself, buddy. Comes off trollish IMHO. You have made it clear English isn't your first language and can't speak/type it well. Yet you're trying to correct others who make small mistakes? Doesn't make sense.

 

How would anyone know how much Cortana will say in the latest build? You really want to know exactly how much she will be saying? Makes no sense to me.

Camera roll has been around... it was located in the Pictures folder then they moved CR out of Pictures folder into Library list in the latest build.

Oh I know its been around (I have many Windows 8.1 machines). That's why I said LIBRARY!

You said new...  it's not new.. MS moved stuff around.

The library is new, the folder isn't. Plus its still in the pictures library and pictures folder and if you open the library's settings, you can see where the library is getting the folder from. ;)

New Music icon is awful. It's not easily recognizable. I think it's supposed to be a CD with a 'Play' triangle on top, but I'm not sure? Eitherway, using a CD is extreamly dated.

I agree, horrible

No, it's not new..  Library was in 8.1 and older version windows....

 

Like I said MS moved stuff around...  (such as remove, add, move, etc)

What ians18 means is the library highlighted in the screenshot:

And yes, that is new and was not part of Windows 8.1 or older. Nor of previous Windows 10 builds.

Frank, Camera Roll is part of OneDrive...    It's not new!

It was never added as a Library before. I know it's not new as folder, it is new as a Library. Good grief, don't be so stubborn.

At first, this comment caught me off guard, as it wasn't too long ago that Win 8.x was single digits,...just rechecked, and you are right. Win 8.x has taken off, only a few points under XP.....

You don't get it.... Camera Roll is linked to Library....   Like I said MS moved stuff around... 

 

New means new features...    Camera Roll is not new, Library is not new....   that's simple.

 

If you get 'Vault' in the library, then that's new.  Understand what I meant?

You don't get what ians18 and I mean. It's not about a new feature, it's about a new default Library having been added.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
