once again everybody goes crazy over a piece of crap, buggy beta! how lovely....

Coming from the guy with "Microsoft Beta Tester" in his member title. Hey man, chill out, all betas are buggy, otherwise they wouldn't be fun to play with. If you don't want to use it, then don't, but leave the people along who do.

Oh, and I also use WMP all the time. I like the UI changes in this version, it looks less cluttered, though it seems like they went a little overboard on the "shinyness". It looks good so far! :)

I see no bug so far and in no way is it slow. Less resource usage than foobar on my machine.

Oh yeah, WMP takes quite a bit less memory than anything else like Winamp on my machine. And it can do a hell of a lot more than Winamp. Personally, my favorite part is the Media Library. I really like how it works, thats what brings me to WMP :)

Edit: Nice avatar bryonhowley :)

Well I like this version very much. It still is a little bit fisher price than what I would like but overall its very clean and fast even for a beta. I see a few bugs which I think are bugs where if I press the sync icon after pressing the burn icon I can't click on anything else but guide to get it too work again. So pressing RIP and others don't work. This doesn't happen on my Athlon XP system or my Pentium 4 HT system. It only happens on my Athlon 64 3200+ system so this might be a chipset or CPU issue with the Athlon 64 chips or even a motherboard issue.

Over all I will be using this beta until something better comes out because at least my experience with it is much less buggy and much faster and the UI I think is better than WMP9. Also even a buggy WMP by Microsoft is still 400 times better than anything Real Media makes. But for me WMP10 is faster, better and for the most part just as stable as WMP9. I say good job Microsoft on this one. I would like Microsoft to optimaze their WMV HD codecs for computers that have 512MB of RAM, 3Ghz or less CPU but no slower than a Celeron 2Ghz because it does need speed and also optimaze playback so older video cards can play it back and maybe and I mean maybe intergrated video playback as well.

That is my hope since my older systems even with the top of the line video card one year ago with a 2500+ CPU and 512MB of RAM can just barely cut it with my 21" CRT which does by the way offer 1920x1080 or better resolutions. Or at least 1080p stuff can be better optimized because the 720p stuff is mostly fine.

But this version has great promise in the future and I'm hoping to see much more improvments being made to this version.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
