mercuryx013 Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Good eye. I would never have noticed that. I agree they would absolutely not use the AIM logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 fake or not, what does it matter? why do you all get so worked up over this? if the product never surfaces BIG DEAL! if you want wireless, go get a Linksys or a Netgear blah blah blah! anyway, if you look at that IP Address its the actuall IP of the actuall microsoft reciever, perhaps, even microsoft could make a mistake and use the AIM Logo. we're human! for crying out loud. if they made a mistake, thats why they have a beta test, someone will point it out and it'll get modified before the end of the beta term, before the product goes GOLD. and hey if these are fakes, so what? just look what's happening between adobe and macromedia, someone screwed up and stole the tab structure from them, human error, big woopdydoo!

divinatum Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 heres a few things i noticed: The AIM Logo (yea we kno that but i did these before i saw this post) and The Image Ends About 2~3 Pixels Before The End Of The Window Next To Setup there is a black line, which really doesnt belong, and the big black bar at the bottom.. stops? And Theres A 1px Black line Under Advanced Setup which means it MAY have come from another image and he forgot to trim it out :right: I Put This In Because The Image Looks Pixelated, bad photoshop skills i geuss :ermm: I Havent Really Kept Up With Programming And XP Visual Style API's but i THINK this cant be done, from what i can tell from visual styles, there is a box around this, yet there is none here.. [Edit] Fogot 5 [/Edit] Uh.. the vesion number is x.x.xxxx (this one speaks for itself.) well thats a few things i think make these fake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
