*pooof*

sorry i havent been around, i just finally got my car out of the shop early this morning (8AM)

I had to pay $700 to get my steering rack replaced, so i had to work a lot of overtime the last 2 weeks to

pay for my car. i am off tomorrow all day (first day in 10 days) and i will definately get to coding

w/ .atlantis and cpugeniusmv

i plan on getting started around 1~2PM EST

>>atlanis~ i know you are UK time... tell when you will be available

i'll PM you my msn name

i seem to have that effect on this site.

i have to take some pics of my car after the accident...

I got clipped by a police office in an SUV on the highway @ 50MPH...

i spun out and destroyed my steering rack after ending up in the median

i have to leave now and go to the police station where they will reemburse me for

damages.

it was super windy icy a few weeks ago and the cop lost control of this explorer and hit the passenger

side my my car.

next week i get to have the door and quarter panel replaced and then get the police to pay me back.

the problem is is that i have to have the money first the fix the car and then they pay me back...

stupid state police policy!!

luckey for me my parents are springing the $3000 to replace the door and such.

i should just chuck my nissan and have the police by me a new BMW!!

Im almost done testing...

ive completed 3 different installs w/ vmware for the automated software installs.

i have a spare 18GB harddrive where i'll install my uber DVD. its got over XP Pro, 300MB of apps, APXP and office 2k3 pro w/ frontpage takes up a good 2GB!!

i am awaiting testers to reply with some feedback... tis alway a slow process.

so far it works for my PC, but i do need some tweaking in the drivers area...

other than that the only issue now is backing up user info like IE favorite lists...

i need some skilled testers.

only PM me if you have skillz in batch files, have vmware/VirtualPC, and a spare box to test.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
