Holy crap, this is pretty big news. I'm pretty sure it was stated that this would be more closely emulating "Tiger," no more "Panther." Probably new programs too! So, Flyakite, when you see this, keep up the awsome work! The 2nd version was just stunning, I really want to see how this'll turn!

It won't, he clearly stated on Aqua-Soft forums that theres no way he can do X64 Untill someone makes something like reshacker to open 64-Bit files

The WinOSX pack is the one that renames the control panel, not mine. However, mine did leave two things during the uninstall. The notepad icon and the Help and Support Center images. However, this has been fixed for v3.0. In fact I've redesigned the install/uninstall method so that there will never be any files left behind during an uninstall.

I am currently using a custom logon, startup screen, iconpackager and a custom visual style. How will this programme handle that?

Will i need to reset it all to default first?

Depends on what is controlling those elements on your system. Icon Packager will always override the system icons, so that would definitely have to be disabled. If the custom logon is set by the logonui key in the registry to a new one, then FlyakiteOSX will override that, since that's how it sets it. The startup screen is more than likely also changed by an app by using the /kernel=newstartup.exe type switch in Boot.ini. That you'll need to set to default, since FlyakiteOSX v3.0 will set a new /kernel value. The visual style is generally controlled on startup by a registry setting, so FlyakiteOSX should override this as well. To be safe though, if you plan on using FlyakiteOSX, it's best to set the other stuff to default or disable any other apps you have controlling those elements.

    • 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.
