Simply great and some nice informations about Vista.

And Windows Media Player will have a cover view too. Interesting.

Of course, I'll upgrade to Vista. I've been upgrading since Windows 3.11 anyway (I'm getting old)... :)

You Probbly, know most all the tricks in windows,

Thats cool, that you have been useing Windows 3.11 - XP,

I only been using Windows 98 SE and XP :blush:

And, as an added bonus, it seems the Sidebar preview has also been updated.. a few new widgets, and, it appears as though they've ditched the curved look. My thinking, however, is that if they go with the circular "start" button, then, to maintain.. a degree of uniformity, they'd go with the curved sidebar.

In any case, as has been said before, the re-designed site sure is uplifting and much more promising than before.

I think That looks a lot better, then the curve Sidebar, Stright lines make it look more professtinal

The new Start button, looks fantastic, love it, and can't wait till i see it in person :rofl:

Well the general look appears to probably be definitely final after seeing this new homepage, however looks like the actual icons through the GUI will suffer a transformation for the good, if you look at the main page on that site you will notice the icons displayed for "Computer" and the "Folder" icon has been improved and don't look amateur anymore :)

Awesome new homepage, I love it! :)

By your user name I am guessing you are 15 right? Well, nowadays its a good thing to be young, look at all the advances coming about! I am 20 years old and I almost wish I was younger. But then I realize I have the older women, nice cars, 'R' rated movies...Life is good. :D

I've never seen so many people agree on something on Neowin. The reactions are the exact opposite of the ones to the new Intel logo.

My thoughs exactly...

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
