I just went to connect to check if the build was there and got this.

"The system has encountered an unexpected error. We apologize for the inconvenience. The issue will be addressed as quickly as possible.

If this error continues, click the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page to report the issue and include this error ID in your e-mail: 259ece89-e2c2-44a6-808a-405d76d8a1ec"

It's coming! :laugh:

You can navigate around this and just go straight to downloads (on the left), although I belive it's gone now :)

I think they got rid of it for now because there were problems with it. But if it doesn't appear in RTM, you can be sure that someone else will recreate it... :yes:

Yeah, it went back for a re-design - but its coming back! :) And in its new form, it blows the old iteration to bits; both design-wise and functionality-wise.

Can anyone provide a small review on what has changed? (assuming you have used it)

I'm still on 5456 so I haven't used it. But from what I read, the main difference is performance. It is a lot more optimised now ... and should be quite useable on a system with 512MB RAM.

I just hope the boot time can be reduced drastically.

Huh? My boot times in 5456 are very good, boots quicker than XP.

I just hope a few of the silly bugs are fixed in this new build. I suppose I'll download it and see when I could be bothered.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
