LOL!!!

I swear that I will cut out the print screen picture of that and along with my purchase receipt will FedEx it to Gates, Alchin and Billy-Bob for a full refund.

this is so utterly tragic and pathetic that I can hardly find words to explain how I feel about MS.

correct on both

It's the fact they haven't done anything about them for many many many years that is causing people to get pi**ed off about them.

I guess you just don't get it... that's exactly the kind of attitude that allows MS to get away with this kind of BS

I get it and it would be nice if they updated them. I just think it's really stupid how people get on Microsoft's back about stupid little things.

You don't even have to use the Add Font Dialog to add a font. I didn't even know that Windows even had an add font dialog until people like you start b****ing about it.

Can someone tell me if Microsoft intends to fix those two icons in the taskbar? The Audio and Networking icons? They seem so un-Vista'ish. When is Microsoft going to stop using all those Windows 95 and 3.1 icons >_>...

Ugh...Someone in the BETA send them an email and tell me to fix those icons in the retail release version >.<

they are supposed to be like that. they are the static icons that stay even if hide Inactive Icons options is turned on. they are very vista like and i wish other icons would look like that.

well you know... one "stupid little thing" here, one stupid little thing there... pretty soon you stop counting all the stupid little things and start thinking how it is possible for a company with 5 Billion spent in R&D to overlook these things... either that or they are deliberatley acting out of malice.

It's not only the Add Font dialog box which had those old school icons for so long :no:. For years the device manager and computer management and other parts of Windows had them aswell, if no one says anything then Vista would still look like this:

Thank God they are doing something about it, only took them around 10 years. Also, whats going to be funny is IF Microsoft replaces them all they will still keep them hidden deep within the system folder.

Nah, this has been blitzableiter's biteriching point for the last few weeks. Some people just need to vent about things that aren't even completed yet.

My take on his tirade: :sleep:

The cigarette lighter in my 1997 Intrepid looks the same as the one in the 2006 Durango! WTF?!

:rofl: hahaha yeah, you would think they would update them after so many years!

If it's not broken, then why waste resources trying to fix it? I would much rather see Microsoft focus more on the security and operational aspects of Vista, rather than hunting around for old icons.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
