Perhaps we don't see eye to eye on this. If Windows does not recognize the native file format, which it does not recognize the binary encoded .jpg's, then to change the file into something readable by the OS is, by my definition a conversion.

You are right, I did extract the files. However they must be converted into a format readable by Windows. So I did both.

No beef here, just conversation ;)

I see your point about these applications being able to read the file. You see my point that MOST Windows graphics apps, including Windows Picture and Fax viewer AND Internet Explorer just don't see the pics. It's not alot of work, but it is a conversion. I'm just telling the guy thanks...

Hope we've got that cleared up. ;)

Hey Guy, no offense - but if you don't remove this material from distribution (and I will be keeping an eye out for it) immediately both you and your ISP will be hearing from my lawyers. It states specifically (in the infos, legal notices and even on the images themselves) bundled with my interface stuff that these images are copyrighted materials created for real commercial clients prior to inclusion in my themes (and only placed there as kind of a nod to my illustration background - I don't own these images, but retain rights to use them for my own self-promotion - what you're doing doesn't fall into that category). There seems to be some confusion as to what constitutes fair use here, so just so you know - you're breaking the law. You cannot re-distribute these images out of context or without express written permission, so I advise you to remove all traces of them immediately.

For what it's worth, I'm not trying to be a hard-ass. I appreciate the enthusiasm and the props here... but I had to flip through some hoops to get this stuff included with the schemes in the first place - I am bound by the terms of my agreements with these clients to ask you to remove them immediately and to ultimately take legal steps to stop their distribution if it gets that far - I'm asking you to comply with my wishes. However, there is nothing stopping anybody from downloading the archives and using the wallpapers for their own personal use - it's just that things get sticky when you redistribute. Sorry =/

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
