Microsoft IntelliPoint and IntelliType 6.1 Final


Recommended Posts

These are final :)

Edit: installed. Wow the magnifier sucks hard with glass.

anyone else have the screen flash black and huge cpu increase with the magnifier when running glass, and have the magnifier move slow as hell? maybe it's the ati drivers?

Edit 2: using the mouse wheel in the start menu in the all programs section also sky-rockets cpu usage... what the hell? please tell me this is just my install and these aren't really THAT horrid.

Edit 3: If you have dual monitors and click the middle mouse button for the instant viewer, it cuts your display in half vertically and mirrors the desktop.

These are probably the worst final anything i've ever seen. especially out of microsoft. kinda disappointed, i've gotta say.

It's very worthy to note that 6.1 is not only for Vista. It is also for Win XP.

Anyone know of any new features?

On a side note, I went from a Microsoft optical desktop elite, to the logitech MX5100 (bluetooth) and it was a horrible experience. I just got the microsoft desktop elite for bluetooth and if if microsoft desktop sets were a woman, I would marry them. Keep up the good work Microsoft hardware team. I wonder if they have a blog.

I've really got to admit that Instant Viewer thing is extremely cool in Windows Xp!

    • They should have locked it on device not cloud. Kids can just sign out the browser and sign in to anther acc or use guest acc. You can block it sort of with group policy locking it so only 1 acc can login. But you cant stop them logging out. My son just ended up resetting the PC and making a random account.
    • You just have to imagine it in the voice of Jony Ive...and taking over 5 minutes to explain. It’s not just a movable volume indicator. It’s fundamentally more considered—every molecule of its form refined, every component reimagined. This is not iteration; it is reinvention. True simplicity is derived from so much more than the absence of clutter or ornamentation. It’s about bringing order to complexity, clarity to chaos—it’s design that feels inevitable. What we’ve created isn’t just new—it’s a new way of thinking. A product that doesn’t compete with the past, but eclipses it entirely. When something is truly intuitive, you don’t notice the design at all. It’s as if the product dissolves, leaving only the experience—the connection—between you and what you’re doing.
    • Kind of an unrelated rant, but... As someone with kids, who as of a few years ago were young enough that I wanted some of these family safety features. I have to say, any good intention MS had was completely RUINED by how absolutely awful the parental interface is. There was the family portal with limited settings, but more detailed settings were scattered is completely unintuitive ways. There was a child details page where you could configure the 100+ features, but, the features in the "gaming" section only applied the extremely limited list of Windows Store games that were not XBox branded. For anything with XBox branded, you had to find the XBox parental consent portal, which had another 100+ features to dig through and try to figure out what was blocking your two kids from playing Minecraft together. To make the experience even more infuriating, MS implemented their same signature documentation we find for 365 and Azure, that it is very easy to find documents talking about how easy it is to use any given dashboard or portal, but without including a link to said resource...you might have to 20-30 results deep on Google before you find that answer, it was nearly impossible to simply find a portal by searching for it.

    • Like many, I'm not buying and expensive items until the tariff nonsense is resolved. I wonder if that has something to do with (along with the notes others are making)?
