If anybody (for any reason at all) needs some webspace (for any reason at all... screenshots etc.) I have a 400GB bandwidth server I can set up for that. It's not being used anyways and the month is almost over...

I could help out with that too. I have a ton of unused bandwidth this month.

It's pretty sad when the warez kiddies have the betas before the real testers do.

why is it sad?

the people who are really excited about it are these so called "Warez kiddies"...

the msdn people just brush it off as another day in the business.

edit: btw its on usenet in the default group for MS betas.

agreed... plus its not a finished os... your not really stealing anything, its not a final product, just some beta (beta 1 :D ), besides people just wanna get their hands on something new.

Oh please.  Just because it's unfinished doesn't mean you have the right to steal it.

I didnt say non-beta testers are stealing it. I assume these people wont be using beta 1 as their main os, and M$ isnt selling this... as its not a finished product... so technically their not sealing anything :o

pwned...

Yeah, thats my point, ok so its copyrighted... but so is music and *we* still download it... M$ wont be happy when Beta 1 leaks (if it hasen't already) but it will happend and people will download... *the sad truth*

I dont see why so many people are so anti-downloading.... just jealous that they weren't able to participate in the beta I guess...

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
