hurting101 Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Hopefully soon. I just hope MS doesn't screw up again and say: (April 7, 2002 update) PowerToys will not be available this month as previously stated here. We're kinda sorry, because we know you like them a lot. PowerToys are currently being completely recoded from scratch after a general windows failure, and will be available for download in oh.. say sometime next year.

Joseph Zollo Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 MS wouldn't dare delay them again, I'm making a prediction here: April 16th. Just a guess :lick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphos Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Here's my prediction: After people found out that via Powertoys, you could use XP-Home to log onto networks, something intended only for those who payed much more for XP-Pro, Microsoft yanked the powertoys set. This is not conjecture, it's fact, if I remember right, only about 5 days or slightly more time passed between me seeing this on several sites and the subsequent removal from Microsoft servers. They do not intend to give you anything for free, so what will happen I predict is one of two things. 1. New features will be small and easily overlooked in the new powertoys set, all the while it will now be missing the auto-log on feature or made completely unavailable in XP-Home. or 2. Powertoys will never again see the light of day, permenantly delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustardFD Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 The powertoys could be a hotfix for XP Home to correct the mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazoo Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Actually Powertoys is being cut down and will only have TweakUI and the fancy Task swicth. or maybe not :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
