I just reformatted my xp hd, but the boot.ini is readonly right now nd im havin a hard time fixin that so i can add vista to the menu so I can boot it!!!

unhide it, right click it, click properties, uncheck readonly, hit ok, edit with notepad.

am I missing something?

LoL. Prince, what do you have to say about this.... ;)

IMHO, the guy who took those screenshots found out about the WinXP compatability mode, took some screenies, then took some screenies of an XP desktop, and boom...p'shop....[wooo.I'm so impressed.]

Notice how, if you look closely; especially at the left edge of the WMP Tray applet, next to the logo, portions of the taskbar are actually black -- and not the MCE "Royale" theme the user who took the screenshots is using :ph34r: . Thus, it is plainly clear the user was using WMP 11 on Vista; where the taskbar is dominantly blurred (with DWM on) and is entirely black (with DWM off).

w00. P'shoped indeeedd. :p

Personally, I think this statement only holds water when WMP 11 exists in Vista. This UI looks completely out of place when used in XP, unless you have a black VS to match it. (I can't say anything about the mini player though. It looks awful at this stage. But that's just my opinion.)

Currently Windows XP doesn't have a unified look and never had one in the first place. So why expect Microsoft to make one now?

I don't know. We can only wait and see if it is true or not. There are suppose to be leaks circulating around the internet but for the moment I'll wait until there's an official word from Microsoft.

    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
    • I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
