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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By Case_f · Posted

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
