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..."

You realize she said this on Friday, probably meaning we should backup all pertinant data over the weekend and be ready for release after the long holiday weekend. My guess is as early as Tuesday or as late as next week there will be a release judging from the tone of the NG's.

You could have cropped it. About 80% of the picture is useless.

only in low res....my laptop is high enough res that almost the whole thing is visible.

I barely even had to scroll lol

Yup she said that on friday.....and she has never been a tease.

also the word she used was prep.

A prep means a format as well as backing up the data.

no way would she have us waste a week.

I've known her for a long time.

I'll belive there's a new build, when it appears in my connect. I don't care what ANYONE On NW says ... cuz no one I trust on NW has said anything ...

And as for your "MS Employees" ... I have a dozen of them. Yup, all just under Bill. AND if you belive that, I have some land on the moon for sale, AND a bridge in Toronto

If you're really a tester then you should know how many employees we have access to.

That or you're one of what I call the "freeriders". They only are testers because they want bragging rights.

Those testers typically don't know anything about the system or who we talk to.

I do not post lies and I do not exaggerate.

No room for discussion on that point.

My thoughts exactly, but if someone, as has been posted, was pranking Paul D et al, then they both wouldn't know and ofcourse Paul's message to the NG's (I didn't say that) isn't gonna mention that he has been pranked....but what if it's a double bluff!!

i got this from another site (which linking is not allowed here, so i won't do it :p)

New builds are *not* the only thing we're working on for you BTs--got lots

of other testing goodness up our sleeves and I am hoping that we'll be able

to tell you about one today.

hmm

Could you please, kindly remove the post from the newsgroups. Names are supposed to be private, I believe, and the newsgroups are meant for testers only...

This is at the risk of sounding elitist, but that is NOT my intention... although admitedly it does look like it.

*cringes and waits for all the flamers*

      My wish list is: A trailer for Final Fantasy VII part 3 and a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Not happening, but I'd kill for would be another game of any genre in the Frostpunk world and another game in the Detroit: Become Human world.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      I tried Wino-Mail and had the same issue with it that I have with New Outlook: My two centurylink.net email accounts (one of which is my primary email account) refuse to work with either one, and sometimes refuse to even log in, even though ALL the relevant information is accurate. Thunderbird does not have this problem, so I'll stick with what works, thank you.

      For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
