thanks for heads up.. spotted this before the email. Downloading speed is almost at stand still.. Why dont MS use a private BitTorrent network to distribute, would certainly make sense after all the hammering their servers take on release days like today

because that'd make too much sense! :p

wow, I hate dl'in at 40kb/s when it should be goin ~10x that.. I wish microsoft would wise up about how it distributes its files :rolleyes:

Well sharepoint designer 2007 didn't get any updates to the UI but that's all i got. The other didn't finish downloading yet.

EDIT: Finally at 8:27PM EST it started going again.

No way, that would promote LEGAL uses for Bittorrent and I doubt the MPAA and RIAA would like that!

F%@# the MPAA and the RIAA! LOL... I don't use BT or anything but i'm sure 90% of the people downloading movies don't get them from there. newsgroups and IRC is where most downloading occurs as far as i know (as well as some other p2p networks still alive out there)

Oh well, downloading stopped again. I wish i got on 20mins before i really did.

Exactly. Don't go showing how it can be used for good, legal reasons. It almost ****es me off thinking about the speeds we could all be getting if we were sharing with a torrent.

what's wrong with legal uses for Bittorrent? *LOL* Screw the MPAA and RIAA ... they can't hurt us Canucks

Well, hopefully this isn't as disappointing as office 12 beta. I tried writing an essay in o12. big mistake...

Yeah, I made mistakes like that several times. You gotta be thinking SAVE the whole time you are using the beta or else you could get yourself into trouble. I don't know if a lot of you have test machines to run things like that, but I usually just use my main PC. It's all good. :cool:

I never had any problem with the first beta (every single time it crashed, it recovers my documents, but as I see, I guess it didn't make so for everyone...)

Oh this usually happens when you do last minute homework ;) I was doing a spreadsheet in Excel and it kept crashing over and over.

I saw that "It appears that Microsoft Office is Crashing Frequently" box many many times while i was trying to finish my assignment hehe.

You needed to apply for an invitation quite a while back. I don't know if they would be letting any more people in. They might be and I could be wrong, but I think you are out of luck. :(

I wonder if they are going to do this in waves...I signed up for this the very first day the page went live...Even before the page processed anything I applied for it. Oh well...

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
