dont like IE7...doesnt flow well with me..and of course fails the acid 2 test but that was no surprise. i hope they do alot more work with it or at least make it more customizable, wich i am sure they will. i aint complaing just puttin in my 2 cents

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?

To report Bugs on the Connect site go to the Longhorn And IE7 home and scroll down to the articles. Click on View All, the second link on that page is bug reporting

Sounds? Really? Ehrm ... I doubt Neowin would want me to copy the Vista sounds to somewhere public, but here's a screeny : http://gallery.damn.be/v/Desktop/vista/sounds.jpg.html

Good point, but I as well would LOVE to hear some new sounds, can you ask or can a mod say something about the matter?

Ehrm, we already know the answer to this! I won't share any of Vista's files with anybody .... Maybe Gates if he asks friendly ;)

I was uhh reading the "newspaper" today and there was an article on Vista Beta 1, however, somebody damaged about half of the article by tearing chunks out of the paper... It was the ONLY article I could find in the "newspaper" on Vista Beta 1, and it was talking about the DVD. Any information on the mysterious missing pieces from the paper? ;)

Does anyone has any idea how to enable that funcky new desktop look?  With all the transparancy and everything?

Didn't that require DX9?  Because in this copy only DX8.1 is installed ...

wondering anyone know if i install longhorn vista beta 1 os will i be able to revert it back to windows xp sp2 home?

or can i just uprgade from windows home xp? clean install?

and finally installing ie 7 beta can i revert back to explorer 6?

thanks

downloading longhorn vista beta 1 now 5 hours.............to.........go................

Mmm .. can't find how to enable that new flashy desktop ...

Oh, and DX9c is installed, but the Nvidia driver only reports DX8.1... Well, it's a beta ;)

But the overall feel of Vista is smooth ... I'm running it on a Northwood 3.2Ghz, 2 Gb PC3200 ram and a 6800GT AGP ... Sometimes it's a bit borky, but it's a beta afterall...

I modded my XP to be as minimalistic as possible, and that's a very big difference with this Vista, there are buttons everywhere, and you can access almost everything from virtually anywhere ... Will take a lot of time to get used to, or even much time to mod everything back to it's minimalistic form ...

You make a new partition and then do a clean install of Vista. Not sure if you can upgrade but it's useless to for many reasons.... after testing it you can easily just keep the partition to install Beta 2 on or you can just delete it and merge the disk space with your primary partition again ;)

Hello, erm, this is Bill Gates and I have seemed to misplace the .wav files that play when you logon/logoff to Windows Vista and I will erm, send you 2 billion microbucks if you pm them to soypowered, my good friend, who will then pass them on to me, that would be fantastic!

Thanks!

    • 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.
