The pic only appears on the original release of Vista DVD discs

Which has now been updated to a new label without the pic

I'd like to start a contest of "Who's Those Fellers" or abbreviated to WTF (can have a double meaning!)

Even MS won't comment, but someone knows, and I bet it's just those 3 men.

Do people sit there looking through a microscope looking for these things on CD's ?

LOL :p It's a nice find though !

If you've ever been to London Bridge station and gone to the high number platforms you will find these men hanging around wearing this coat and having orgasms when they tick off train numbers.

I call people like that an 'Anorak'.

Maybe it fits into the same category.

I have my Vist Ultimat 64bit cd and on that ball i can make out the blank spot on the cd and on each side are 2 tiny squares on one of them looks to be 3 dots but thats with my eyes and i dont have a magnify glass handy.

Edit: found it ya its on my DVD but theres 3 other small squares around the ball but i cannot make out what they are.

That's what I thought - the anti-piracy stuff.

Now, I don't wanna jinx it, but now that the public found out it's there, wouldn't it be easier for pirates to copy that???

Mind you, I have a fully legit Vista Business (I got it on January 31st, 2007) through my former university's MSDNAA program, then upgraded to Ultimate through Windows Anytime Upgrade on June 3rd. I also have another Vista Business DVD from my PC Configuration class.

It seems kind of bizarre to put an image like that on a disc. Wouldn't a Microsoft logo have done just as well?

No. Anyone can get the Microsoft logo from the internets; those pictures are exclusive and probably only Microsoft has the original pictures.

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
