come on guys..

Its the build 4071 leaked yet????

If not whats the point of showing PIcts of it?

It was leaked almost immediately. In fact, the WinHEC 2004 build (4071) can have the DCE effects turned on by running the following commands:

Turn on DCE: C:\WINDOWS\I386\sbctl.exe start

Turn off DCE: C:\WINDOWS\I386\sbctl.exe stop

It's that simple. No reboot required, as the effects are enabled immediately. Your screen may go black for anywhere between 1-3 seconds. The effect is only temporary. You have to reenable DCE on the next reboot. Of course, you could have the command always run at startup.

On my Athlon 1100 / 640MB SDR SDRAM / GeForce 3 64MB Classic, window effects were dead slow. However, I read that on some 4071 installations, the 3D hardware accelleration was turned off by default, and that there was a way to turn it back on. I however didn't get that far. I kept trying to get the News Pane's RSS feed to switch to /. or Neowin, to no avail. I then tried to use a pane compiled for a previous version of LH, and in the process of trying to swap the panes out, totally hosed the settings for it and Explorer then would just start, crash, and restart in an infinite loop. :blush: So I formatted the drive and gave up, happy with what I had already seen. :)

Oops. . So many build numbers. . so little time. :) I second the notion though. .who would want to use an 4071 anyway? Unless you're a build collector for some reason. . *cough* Neptune *cough*

On a related note, I heard that XP was actually not based on Neptune and Oddessy, but rather that Longhorn is based on Neptune. It was explained that "Activity Centers" were a major component of Neptune, and that most of the Activity Centers in Neptune (such as the Photo, Music, and Communication Centers) were curiously missing from XP, only to reappear in LH. . Can anyone confirm this?

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
