Yes, I'm in bay 2, and was upgraded at the start of August. Here is the URL of my inbox: http://by2fd.bay2.hotmail.msn.com

I really have a feeling they tried catering to their older subscribers first. Those who have continuiously logged in and used the account constant from initial sign up. I've had the same hotmail address for 9 years now.

I?m sure that I read about this somewhere that they where going to:

Upgrade the oldest active accounts and then

The newer active accounts and then

The inactive accounts.

I have no idea where I saw this, I read to many sites like neowin, it would make sense to upgrade the active accounts, you would think they have probably had a massive upgrade to there data centers so you would want the new HDD arrays to get a good stress test make sure everything is working.

I?ve had a tour of an ISP / computing data centre here in Australia I was amazed, darn I?d love to see inside hotmail?s , I?ve searched google but was unable to find jack ** about there systems.

Anyway I?m rambling

Bye now

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.

      Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
