For those who've just been "activated" on Vista this afternoon, have you been granted access to the newsgroups yet? It's been a couple hours here and still nothing (well, just the Mail Beta groups which I already had).

To previous questions: Yes, Beta 2 will be available for anyone who wants to download it. The bad news is that it's not likely to make it out until January or so.

This has nothing to do with stealing your sisters junk...

and you should have behaved better, maybe you woulda got one...  :rofl:

Exactly! Microsoft gives the best betas away to its best beta testers, who behave well and report bugs and give feedback.

(Note, I am not a tester of vista)

ok so its copyrighted... but so is music and *we* still download it...

*I* don't...

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...

Yeah, that's it. Except, I'm actually in the beta, and downloading it right now from Microsoft. I think it's actually the other way around. You guys are all jealous that you didn't get in the beta, so you need to go and warez it.

My sister once got a gift from my mother because she was good. I never got one, so i took it from her.

You are telling my this is not stealing.

OMg you mean ******.. thats stealing.. because then she is without the gift.. if download a free program iam not taken it form anyone.

if anyone has IE7 pm me :shifty:

*I* don't...

And if you weren't in the beta you would be just like the rest of us ;)

Ok, but you can't compare you BEHAVING good, to getting picked for the beta. M$ picked people who tested other stuff before, if your a new guy, theirs no luck because he/she has no experiance... So they have to *steal* it, if they wanna test it. I get what your trying to say tho....

But other than copyrights, and the fact that this isnt a public beta, I don't see a problem with someone trying to test it without being in the beta. But don't take my word, thats just my opinion...

On the Connect site, where do we report bugs against IE7 on WinXP? I can't spot a feedback, submit bug or similar link on the connect site, but the beta instructions say to use the Connect site to submit bugs... am I missing something obvious or is the bug-reporting mechanism not yet in place on Connect for this program?

Maybe there's a way to send in bug reports from Vista?

In this case it would mean your mom has an infinite number of said free gift and stealing it from your mom wouldnt actually be hurting her at all.

I think they're still configuring the site, since that area is clearly present in another beta I'm on in the same site. Plus, I've seen a couple links that don't work yet, so give them a little more time to get things going.

    • We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.
    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
