No Warez (links) & Cracks: help, requests or posts that discuss circumvention. This includes linking to illegally obtained software, movies & music files - posting about it, and suggesting to get it.

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.

Yeah lol, people (including myself) at first were getting confysed. As me thinking of SP1 RC1 and R2 it didn't quite click me there was a major difference. Thanks to our own Tom Warren (creamhackered) he cleared up the confusion on his news post :)

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 :(

I am not on the beta that is why I am asking, I stopped beta testing due to my work load.

Federation Services actually seems pretty nice, still getting into it and seeing how it all ties in on my test server :)

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

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
