next person to ask me for a key will be reported. If you're on the beta, learn some freaking patience and wait. You'll have your keys within a few days. And if for some reason you don't have it by then, contact the right people AKA the beta team.

These are the bits that need beta testing.

So what are your opinions of Active Directory Federation Services beta testers ?

You do realize that about 50% of the beta testers signed up for this to increase their e-wang size? They probably do not know what 'Active Directory' is in the first place.

I know and its very annoying knowing they are taking up place's that could be offered to people who know how to use this software properly.

Haven't had a lot of time to site and start testing (work has unfortunately kept me really busy)... hopefully at some point close to the end of the week I'll be able to test that.

However, from what I've read about the Active Directory Federation Services, it interests me... can't wait to start testing it :D

What do you think about it Jason?

[EDIT] The two things that interest me the most are Distributed File System & Microsoft Services for Network File System... but again, I haven't had time to really get into anything deep yet :(

    • 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.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
