This is amazing - 18% GLBT population on Neowin. I'm honestly a little shocked myself.

Your not the only one, who's shocked, but I don't care ...

I'm not homophonic and couldn't care less what a person sexual orientation is unless, your my girlfriend or close friend.

All except one of my friends are straight, the only one is a female friend who is bi, I've tried to get something happening with her and her friends, me being a straight male and all,

her and I have had our nights, but her girlfriends are 100% lesbians and i'm not allowed to participate :cry: (most of them are too butch for me anyhow)

Actually, it's 18% of the number of people who took the poll, about 750, whereas Neowin has many thousands of users. And this is by no means a controlled sampled of the Neowin population that may accurately represent the whole ;) Perhaps the percent is so high because that part of the Neowin population felt the urge to share their sexuality more than the other part, straight-oriented users; also to be taken into account is chance, the fact that some users rarely view this part of the forum or catch sight of the threads posted here.

I fully understand that, but it still seems to me that, just by sheer numbers alone and not making assumptions about people's behavior, 750 is a decent percentage of the Neowin population. I'm not going to hazard a range here, but at the very least, Neowin has an "average" amount of LGBT users compared to the general population.

agreed -- I think the people who gravitate towards this poll may be biased in our (LGBT) direction...say that bias is worth 8%...we're still talking an average of around 10% which is what seems is an agreed to number of the LGBT population as a whole.

Damn. :) So any fellow Neowinians in LA wanna hang out? haha

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Warzone · Posted

      Windows 11 is technically Windows 10, It was going to be a Windows 10 feature update (Sun Valley) but alas, marketing had its way with it for a new version bump as opposed to yet another rolling release update and the UI design decisions made for the Windows 10 Sun Valley Update, pretty much ruined the launch of Windows 11. More about what decisions Microsoft is making at anytime rather than OS version at this point.

      RTM is October 5, so this must be the release that software vendors could use and all.

    • Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is expanding its footprint into the classroom with a new suite of AI-powered study and teaching tools for Microsoft 365 Education. Rather than pushing these features as premium add-ons, the company is rolling out many core features at no additional cost to existing customers. The update brings new tools such as 'Copilot Notebooks' and 'Study and Learn Agents' into Microsoft's Education suite. Copilot Notebooks is essentially an AI-powered workspace where students can ground answers with their own learning materials, similar to Google's NotebookLM. The study and learning agents would allow students to learn concepts more visually, along with interactive practices and real-time feedback. For the last few years, educational institutions have struggled to implement practical guardrails for the usage of large language models. The new tools from Microsoft are a push towards providing those guardrails natively within the apps that the students and teachers already use every day. For teachers, the new 'Unit Plans' within the dedicated 'Teach' agent would allow them to rapidly generate structured curriculum frameworks grounded in established learning science, cutting down hours of preliminary lesson planning. Microsoft is also introducing 'Learning Groups' in Assignments that would help educators automatically categorize students based on performance data. With 'Learning Zones', teachers can then tailor assignments to different comprehension levels. It should be noted that Microsoft is making Learning Zone accessible for a one-year trial across all Windows 11 devices, while quietly incentivizing school districts to upgrade their legacy hardware and lock further into the Windows ecosystem. Of course, Microsoft is doing this as part of a broader ambition. Just last year, the company made waves when it brought its 365 Copilot to the education sector for $18 a month, introducing premium tiers with standalone conversational agents. However, gating all AI features behind a per-user subscription left a massive gap of students without access to official, school-sanctioned AI tools. Now that the features are inside the base Microsoft 365 Education suite for free, the company is effectively subsidizing the AI training of its next generation of power users. Microsoft’s own data, released alongside these tools in its 2026 AI in Education Report, indicates that while over 90% of students are using AI, nearly 80% lack formal training. Lastly, Microsoft is also expanding its "Elevate for Educators" training program, developed in partnership with organizations like ISTE and ASCD. This ensures that the teachers tasked with policing and guiding this new technology actually understand how to use it themselves.
