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.

    • Zen Browser 1.20.2b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.20.2b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.20.2b changelog: Security Mozilla Security Advisory 2026-54 New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.3 Boosts now support a dark mode UI based on your system dark mode setting. Fixes Fixed auto focus for new windows not working. (#12112) Fixed desktop shortcuts showing zen as 'Nightly'. (#13745) Other minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Kushan · Posted

      "This transition will take several years so we shouldn't bother doing it at all" is a naive take. This is completely normal for all specifications that cross-cut software, hardware and multiple industries. Look at the PCI specification for another example, consumers barely have PCI-E 5 yet PCI-SIG is working on PCI-E 8. AV2 will take multiple years to get adoption and even then, even a decade from now people will still have older hardware that doesn't support it. That's fine, because the savings still add up as newer devices add the hardware to deal with it. The goal is never to get 100% on the new spec overnight, but to gradually adopt it.
