The talk in the newsgroups is of tuesday, and if anyone remembers the quote: "New builds are always released on the second Tuesday of the week", we might have another day to wait.

We will see, but the release of the Dezember CTP was a Monday. I hope they will release it today. :cry:

Editing this myself to get rid of the flames I had posted for Unknown User.

I'm not even going to waste my breath on going into why he's wrong and will be proven wrong.

Needless to say if you really are a tester you will know why.

Morph how do i subscribe to the n.g. again?

LOL.

In OE hit the newsgroups button up top and select double-click on the NG you want to see added to the list and it will resubscribe to them.

I will just post this here to debunk a few things Unknown User is saying

It's one of the only times you will catch me even somewhat violating NDA.

This is a direct quote from a Microsoft Employee in regards to if we should expect a new build soon.

"Absolutely...8, 7, 6, 5.

Might be a good idea for folks to do some 'prep' to their computer this

weekend..."

Now considering who this employee is, this person would never have a tester nuke a perfectly valid install of a build just for fun.

As said Unknown User is full of crap.

As I was posting this UU proved my point by editing his early post to have in it that he could have been wrong.

Now wouldn't a Project Manager know what's going on? ;)

Also just want to state that there is not just one PM as he's making it sound. There are SEVERAL.

All the programs function that way.

Actually how is this.

If you can tell anyone who posted the quote I put above I will be astounded.

Until then YOU can STFU.

How about this....what's your connect ID? You post in the NG's and we will see if you are even a tester.

If you're not a tester than your opinion means less than dick to me.

Why don't we wait RTM and then explore the new Windows?

Anyway....

There will be a lot of corruptions, performance and other problems with Windows GUI...It is rendered by GPU, and it a lot depends of drivers. I guess the drivers has to pass WHQL certification, LDDM model. Even so i can bet in my $3000 PC Box that there will be GUI problems all over. :yes:

Apple did it using OpenGL API. Well, OpenGL is different then DX. 10 of 10 OpenGL games are running with no problem, requiring no different set of the drivers in order to have all games running correctly. 3 of 10 games supporting DX9.0 api will run fine, the other 7 will have different kind of problems like stuttering, texture corruption, generally low frame rate, crashing etc etc. DX is crap from the starting point, which everything was build on. I agree it brings all these nice features, but when all together is put into action...hm well go over nvnews and rage3d and ask them :D

I'm done with the gaming after Vista is released, and openGL is oficially dead for PC, Windows. It will be time to move to Mac OS for professional work, and get PS3 for gaming.

It's good Apple made available Mac OS on any PC platform, so i don't need to buy a new box.

It's funny how XBOX360 performs. It got a lot of diseases from PC (OS, DX API). There are games where everything seriously slows down...hmm Quake 4 for example etc...

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

      By Jolo · Posted

      No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.

      Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
