if you ask me it's feak.....

if you zoom in on the picture where the text say;

windows vista beta 2

evaluation copy. Build 5308.winmain_idx01.060126-1800

the background of the text is crappy.....

That is because of jpeg compression artifacts. Same thing has happened around the icons.

I wished they kept Luna as a theme :(

I don't see how hard it is to have it in there.

Classic, Luna and Aero *default*, thats how it should be :)

Thanks for the screenshot, guess all we know is a newish build #.. hehe

^ What's wrong with having a Pentium 3 600mhz? I still got that! (it's sitting somewhere in my grandma's room though) =P lol

Back to topic...all it shows is a new Network (Center) icon and a new Volume icon in the systray....

Even those aren't new. *sigh*

Even those aren't new. *sigh*

We wont see final icons till RC build, and probably it won't look as it looks now. But, for sure many of the icons through the development will be part of shell32.dll. I guess they are playing with the things and final decision about many things isn't made yet. The programming is like an art. MS Developers pretty much finished the code for shell (theme). Now they can skin Windows Vista into anything they want, it is nothing what would take more then a month.

HAHAHAHHAHA

Looks like someone hasn't saved a jpeg / gif in his/her life.

HAHAHA

All I will say is that while this specific compile isn't the February CTP, but it is an early build of the CTP. It will bare the build number 5308 and will be from the idx01 branch. The build itself installs much faster than any previously release builds, and Thurrot is correct about the Sidebar being in the build. The build is feature complete, although it is not UI complete... meaning the April CTP (aka Beta 2/RC0 equivalent... although the April CTP will not be milestone quality) will contain most of the final UI touches and bits.

    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
