So it's airing on ABC here on the East Coast. Not sure if it's being put on live across the country or held for primetime but it's definitely worth a look. Daly and Woods Vs. Goosen and Mickelson in a best ball format. Pretty entertaining seeing these guys play loose and have more banter than we're used to on the PGA Tour. They're all miked up too.

to me the teams weren't totally fair. but i guess it was more of a power vs. short game thing. phil and retief are just way too consistent. tiger may be the best of the bunch, but he probably had to hold up a lot of daly's end of it too...

John Daly was off his game big time. The announcers (Azinger and Faldo...great combination and they are funnier than hell) said Daly had just played in a tournament in Germany where he placed 3rd, so I'm pretty sure he was tired beyond all hell. I love Daly, though, he doesn't give BS interviews, he goes out to play and doesn't get caught up in the extra crap.

During the match, Phil was irritating me though. He kept making little snide comments about Tiger - "Don't want to **** off the man". I've always liked Phil but he came off a little arrogant yesterday, probably because it was his home course and such.

Anyway, I think Bro is right. The teams weren't exactly equal. But, if Daly were on his game they would have probably won the thing. I would love to see Vijay and Tiger go against Phil and Retief.

    • 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.
