I just browsed through the Windows folder and man, it's a mess in there, why couldn't Microsoft just create a log folder for example with all log files collected instead of them being scattered like now.

They actually do have a folder for logs, but most things dont use them :rolleyes:

C:\windows\system32\logfiles ...wmi and IIS log there, but oh well.

clock.avi was used to test display adapter settings back in windows 3.x i believe... it's REALLY time they deleted that.

Same with moricons.dll BLEH!!!!

i wish they would dedicate some time to longhorn picking out what they don't need anymore, and fixing inconsitancies everywhere else (icon, bitmaps, etc..)

    • Microsoft wants partners to promote Edge for Business by Usama Jawad Microsoft's partner program is an initiative that aims to provide a collaborative framework through which businesses can build solutions using Redmond technologies and sell them at scale to their own customers. It enables Microsoft to reach a wider audience while also offering a financial incentive to businesses looking to leverage cutting-edge technology. Now, the company has explicitly asked its partners to bundle Edge for Business in their security offerings. In a blog post titled "Better browser security starts with Microsoft Edge for Business—and you", Microsoft has urged solution vendors offering security implementations to include Edge for Business in their package. It is being pitched as a secure browser meant for enterprise use-cases, with the additional benefit being the AI features in tow. Microsoft has also boasted that the browser contains advanced management tools that can save IT admins time and reduce overall costs. In order to assist independent solution vendors (ISVs) in promoting Edge for Business to more customers, Microsoft has actually prepared some resources to facilitate the process. This includes a collection of videos designed to emphasize the importance of protection against browser-based attacks. It has also packaged some demos for Edge management service (EMS) and Microsoft 365 Lighthouse. In fact, there's even a pitch deck, à la Apple, that can help partners emphasize the benefits of Edge for Business, along with a comprehensive landing page for the browser. This landing page contains information about how organizations can improve their security posture to protect themselves against cyberattacks, along with a white paper on cybersecurity and a licensing matrix. Even though some may view the move as desperate, there really is no downside to it. ISVs aren't being forced to promote Edge for Business to their own customers; Microsoft is just nudging them in that direction while offering some in-house assistance. As long as Edge for Business reaches more customers, it's a win-win situation for both Microsoft and its partners.
    • Well... that's one way to voice your insecurities I guess.
    • Im not sure how I feel about most of the trailing being about earth stuff, when none of the book takes place there, but the Rocky bits look cool!, I've been excited for this, and honestly surprised that Artimes never got a movie.
    • Here are all the new features Microsoft added to Teams in June 2025 by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is one of the most used software when it comes to online communication and collaboration, especially in enterprise environments. Even though there are still many features that people want in Teams, Microsoft tries to appease as many as it can with regular updates to the tool. Now, the Redmond tech firm has published a roundup of all the capabilities it added to Teams during the month of June 2025. Starting off with chat and collaboration improvements, we have an enhanced spellchecker offering support in up to three languages, with users being given the ability to add corrections to their personal dictionary too. In addition, the new chat and channels experience is now rolling out to Government Community Cloud (GCC) customers. Next, we have improvements to the meetings, webinars, and town halls experience. Loop-powered meeting notes are now available for GCC-High and Department of Defense (DoD) customers, and non-Teams users have the ability to join town hall meetings through Cloud Video Interoperability (CVI) join codes. It is also possible for those invited to join town halls and and webinars using sign-in details, such as PSTN. In a similar vein, town hall organizers can select individuals to manage the screen that is being shown to attendees. Organizers have more control over the broadcast of notifications too, and can also pull in a participant into the call directly and have them present their screen seamlessly. Lastly, town hall usage reports are now available in Teams Admin Center for additional insights. For those more interested on the hardware side of things, the following devices are now Teams-certified: Yealink MeetingBoard Pro MTRA Series-65, 75, and 86 inch Logitech 4K Pro Webcam (for consumer) Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Business Webcam (for business) Yealink RoomPanel E2 (8-inch) and E2 Plus (10 inch) Logitech Rally Board 65 + Tap IP for Teams Rooms on Android (wireless) Crestron Videobar 70 EPOS ADAPT 660 USB-C PolyStudio V12 Logitech Zone 305 (with native Bluetooth) That's not all, though. There are several other enhancements present across frontline worker solutions, security, and Teams Phone and Rooms. Read about them in detail here.
