And what legacy stuff would that be?

There is nothing that's in XP that's not in 2003, save perhaps the logon UI (And I don't even remember if that is there somewhere).

  • Visual Basic 5.0 runtime removed.
  • DirectPlay 1.0 removed.
  • DirectMusic removed.
  • Intel codecs removed from DirectX.
  • SOAP Toolkit removed.
  • Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) removed.

There's tons more - which is why so many old applications work fine in XP but do not function in Windows Server 2003. Here's a good read.

Anyway, jerry is right, this is way off-topic. I'm still happy to discuss with you, PM me if you want to reply to me. :)

While I'll admit i'm downloading it as we speak, I'm also (as many have already said) definately going to buy it when it is released so that i can play the multiplayer side of the game. I live in the UK and i've still got 2 weeks to wait for it, and with everyone else getting there hands on it it just cant wait - but as i said, I'm buying it. This is a game i respect and have waited on for a long time, ID have earnt my cash and will get it, as will half life 2 when thats released. I hope many others downloading the game will also purchase it.

Even though I preordered it and it's already paid in full I'm not going to DL. I like my computer to be 100% legit, no music I don't own the CD for, no warez. I either buy it or it's freeware. DOOM 3 is not free.

Now on to the reason I'm here. Where all the screenies? Maybe even some hi-rez videos?

I do not know why people cannot just wait three days. And then you wonder why computer game companies release crappy games because they know that even if they develop a great game that takes years to make, people like some of those on here will ruin it by downloading it for free. So why even bother trying to make a great game if they are not going to get rewarded for it?

Here in the UK and basically everywhere except US and Canada it won't be released until August 13th, some places later than that even. Not releasing at the same time globally only encourages piracy.

The thing is, people have waited like years for this game to be developed. What is a few days or a few weeks to wait for it to be sold in stores? See I hate to see companies like id or Valve not get their money when they deserve it. By not paying for the work it does not motivate them to make better games in the future because when thousand of people illegally download their games why even bother making future games. It just ruins it for us who actually pay for them.

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
