Did you just post your connect.microsoft.com address? Ummm, that might not be too wise. Especially if...you know...the beta name is in there. Your beta name. Just a thought.

Also, to everyone else, these connect.microsoft.com addresses have to have to be logged into. So if you dont have a password for it, dont bother. A link from connect is worthless to you unless you are a beta tester. Sorry.

The thing is it isnt funny.

It would of been but not after all the other fake links!

You would have thought some people would have learned by now

No, it might be his actual download link. Who knows. Of course, it is useless for anyone else unless you can guess his username and password.

Who rattles his cage..

LOL man.. think everyone should lighten up a little. It's only a BETA and you'll have it soon enough.

Appears everyone is totally obsessed with getting a silly link... :wacko: :wacko:

yeah, the page shows it's 'available' and when i login vista isn't under the OS section.

i've already got my product key, but the iso download isn't showing up yet.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in may areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
