is there not a DVD version because why have 6 Cd's when you could have 1 DVD?????

Almost everyone has a DVD-Rom/DVD-RW would it save them money because they only need 1 Disc or give the option for a DVD Version or the 6 Cd version????

Lol, We're in the same boat. My HDD has been acting up for weeks now. Seems the closer it gets to the 16th, the more F'ed up it gets.

Well they also have a contract with Vivendi not to release it early over steam. Don't wanna **** off your publisher or no $ for you.

vivindi and valve are already ****ed at eachother over the steam controversy in internet cafes. i bet valve doesn't give a crap. how does it benefit vivindi to not let us play a few days early? I bet valve won't publish their next title with them anyways. Say hello to Valve, EA.

I don't know why anyone would want to publish their games since a nice amount of sales are done through steam and then the publisher doesnt benefit at all from this. Yeah, I think they might as well have released it awhile ago but I figure wait the couple days left for it now.

Halo 2 has enjoyed its time in the sun for three days. That was just the opening act for the main event.

I wonder if I call my local GameStop and told them that the local EB has broken the street release date after they heard that some stores across the US have broken it, will GameStop panic and release it so that they would not get outsold by the local EB? I would like to stare at the game box for the next few days since I would not be able to play it until it is unlocked.

What a sec... I am confused. Why does he have two different box covers? One is of the G-Man and one is of a scene in the game. This seems like the Doom hoax with the photoshoped Doom 3 cds.

*Edit: Actually probably the scene from the game is the back of the box. Still, this could just be a photoshopped image.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
