Bill Gates Keynote at International CES


Recommended Posts

Maybe it's already been said, but I missed it. Does anyone know when the first Home Servers will be available? Obviously on or around the Vista launch, but any specific dates?

Windows Home Server :)

For anyone who liked that GroupShot app they showed for Vista. Where they took the good from 2 photos and combined it into one.

They made it for Windows XP also:

Direct download link:

No the only thing they showed that's going to be a Ultimate Extra was DreamScene. I still think Motion Desktop sounded better.

I think GroupShot has actually been downloadable for months now. I think I tried it out one night months ago when I was browsing through Microsoft. I don't think it was called GroupShot at the time though. I can't remember what it was called back then, but the app was for taking the good from two photos and using that to make one good photo that you liked. When I first read about it I think they had just started work on it.

When they showed it during the keynote I knew I had already tried it out once before.

And what did you think?

When I first tried it out it had a completely different UI because I don't recall it having the UI it has now.

I know I tried it out before because the screenshot of it featured the same picture of the couple on a beach.

It's a nice little app if you're someone who does a lot of photo editing of this type.

    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
