Today I got employment at a company I worked for last year. I pretty sure I'll get to stay there the during the following months as far as December hopefully.

Still haven't gotten my XP licence. I'm 90% sure I'll get it on monday.

Other than that. My mockups are still not done for LE5.1. I'm still working on/checking whether the royal shading is correct or not. It's pretty good right now but I want it to be prefect in this final version. There are a lot of other stuff I still haven't started working on that will have to be updated, for example tabs and scrollbars. I was also thinking about creating a new cool login sound, that will be played when Windows starts. That might not happen but it would be cool. :)

Just my 2 cents on the start menu. I think the whole Vista only text thing is really dumb. It's the one thing I don't like about the new Vista UI. It really makes no sense and takes longer to associate the button with the icon, the text only is even worse. Microsoft nailed it with the XP menu.

Calm down guys. I will test it, with the user name at least. Might look weak otherwise. If it doesn't look as good as I would have hoped it's back to the default menu design.

I too didn't like the right pane without icons at first, but then I saw this theme and then I thought it actually looked pretty clean.

I can't test it until next week though.

I modded my LE5 to the new startpanel.

I've got mixed feelings about it, I like it with the icons.

Havent tried it with the username but will do that.

But I still really like the "normal" startpanel very much, so I hope you will make the new startpanel as an alternative version if you are implementing it.

I have a version with the new one mixed with the old one as well.

That looks nice to :)

I hope this all made sence :p

I'm back to the unmodded version before I get used to the new one, the all the joy will be gone before it's even released :p

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
