I don't see why they would give us a laptop bag, if its just a bag in general then ok, but who says all of us will have a laptop? lol

I guess time will tell, either way I'm happy with whatever it is.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Not everyone HAS a laptop. A general bag would have made more sence. :huh:

A backpack or something would be better because not everyone has laptops

Well a laptop bag is a lot better than a wink or something stupid like that. I can at least use it for something. Can't complain I guess! :D

I can't really complain either, but there were more managed testers in the MSN 7/7.5 team than this one, and they got a webcam.

Oh well.

7 got webcams, which was great. I have to say i'm a bit dissapointed if bags is all we get, but the fact is that we who tested it got to play with new software we all like and use well before anyone else did, and chances are the majority of us didn't report that many bugs (how many of you even completed the test scenarios? :p ). Be thankfull that you got to test the software, and that you're in microsofts books for future beta tests.

I sure as hell did, and I'm pretty sure everyone who actually cared about the software did aswell. It's people like you who only care about the prizes at the end and cause a sub-par program to be released as you didn't file in any bugs or vote on anything on connect.

Excuse me? People like me? I was stating that only that the majority of testers don't. It's evident when you read the beta newsgroups that there are very few people posting on them compared to the thousands who brag about their participation on blogs and forums. So don't go accusing people of not putting any input in.

anyone in uk got anything yet?

nope :no:

I reported any bugs,suggestions etc on the newsgroups,I didnt post in there for the start due to moving twice & having limited net access but I still tested the product,did surveys etc.

not everyone goes on the newsgroups but still provide feedback on connect,surveys,webchats etc,there are lots of ways to get involved with betas however I agree some people are in it for a freebie at the end,Luckily I think MS filter those people out for future betas &/or a new beta release of the same product.

They sent that e-mail telling us to confirm our address a couple of months ago didn't they? Sometime in late May or early June I thought.

Yes they did...I guess now we wait...

People in UK..will not recieve anything...MS sold them..so they could 'support' the UK people with the fines.

I dont really understand what you typed,have you got a source saying the UK testers wont get anything?,if so it seems odd I was asked to make sure all my contact info was upto date so they could send me my gift for testing.

:rofl: Well aside from his apparent obsession for ellipses, I think it was fairly obvious that he was joking about MS selling the gifts to pay for the EU fines.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
