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.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
