bah, i stuffed up bad. i got my invite sent to a gmail address which i hadn't registered for a Passport, so all i get is a dead link. Now it's registered and i still get a dead link. :( so if you see me asking for another invite, it's not because i'm greedy, just because i need one that works. ;)

Big thanks to faraaz though. (Y)

If you want to ask for an invite do it here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=408171

Otherwise sit patiently and follow the guide in the first post, I've asked a load of people with no luck, and u people requesting in this thread are annoying.

Edit: I've been here nearly 3 years and i just got 500 posts!!!, I live here, yet i don't seem to post as much as others...

That one got closed.

Edit - I Have Windows Mail Beta, I just clicked a link on my normal hotmail, however I can't seem to find an invitations button

I have two invites...it would be cool if you are in another beta if you could hook me up with an invite...but if not I have two I can offer.

EDIT: I now have none...of course my inbox here on Neowin shot up to 15 within minutes

Hi, do people who get invited to join the beta also have 2 invites to give out? If so, that would be great - people with invites could send an invite to the next person who posted on the forum, and so on. Everyone would get an invite! :)

Newly invited people will get invites soon... so yes and no, as it does not happen immeadiately. Nice of you to join NW, but please don't be a leech.

Do not post asking for invites, PM those who are offering them. Read the first post before you do anything!

I'm not trying to be a leech, i thought it would be possible for everyone who wanted an invite to get one as long as they gave away their invites! Guess that would only work in a perfect world though.

Cheers

You have to trust that the people asking for invites are actually in need. If you feel as though they already have one, just post who you invited.

People asking for invites: Be honest folks, these people are choosing to give you their program invites over their friends/families. Appreciate it, dont abuse it.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
