Does it mean I have to be subscribed (pay) in order to use their IE7 beta?

I'm a web developer, I'd like to know as soon as possible if my sites look OK with their new browser... and I have to pay for it?

Boy they gotta be kidding me... This should have been a public beta, that way web developers could have anticipated their work much sooner... but anyway, guess we'll have to wait for a leak or otherwise rush when they release another beta...

that's from Windows Vista Beta1 setup

I think that the Windows Vista setup is the same like on Win9x (same core, same graphics, same old fonts)

Maybe Windows Vista is a combination between Win9x platform and WinNT... I'm not sure

No such thing as a combination between Win9x platform and WinNT, NT was a complete ground up rebuild.

a WinNT with a Win9x setup... :blink:

see this all of boot screens from Windows Vista Beta 1 setup http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvi...ll_gallery2.asp

event the busy cursor is the same like Win9x :yes:

EDIT: or maybe is my mistake, it was an upgrade from Windows 98, again my mistake if this is the case, but on the page he says "Windows Vista Beta 1 Clean Install"

I'm all for a leak of IE 7 (Only because I'd like to know if my sites look ok I need to test) I think it's selfish that you'd have to pay just to get access to something that is Free.

(if there are any spelling mistakes it's because i've been up all night)

The best info we've found is here:

Internet Explorer Beta 7 BTW the screenshots on that page are from PCMag. They somehow already installed Beta 1 of Vista too. $10 says MS makes them remove the other screenshots they (PCMag) has on their site.

Has ANYONE here at all had MS Connect give them the option of IE7 alone? Or is it always combined with Vista?

Well, it sounds like Beta 2 will be public...

Our goal is to get feedback from this group, do a bunch more work around quality (performance, security, reliability, etc.) and some features (e.g. additional standards support beyond what?s in beta 1, additional functionality around tabs and RSS, etc.), anrelease Beta 2 much more broadly.b>

      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.
