Found neowin back in the whistler days.

Registered late 2001, but was a daily visitor for much longer :)

Don't remember how i found it, but i can't really remember never visiting neowin :)

How? Was looking for a way to adjust the Windows wallpaper directory, actually, and just happened to find an answer in a thread from this forum. Haha.

Why? Hell if I know. Boredom, I suppose. Seems like a decent (if not more than that) forum, and I could always use a good forum to give me a new crowd to interact with, so I figured I may as well join.

HI

I've been a long-time guest... been using the odd XP tweaks and customization stuff. About a year ago I made the move over to LinuxMint and today on the Distrowatch I saw Shift... it's busy downloading as write this. I've finally found a home for my 'parasite' pc and customizing blog. It's not there yet... let me get into Shifting first! I'll keep you updated...

HI,

i've also been a guest for bout 6 months, but as i'm currenty doing an internship, and just sitting infront of an computer with nothin else to do besides reading posts here, i finally decided to register myself, to escape the boredom of this bureau^^

i don't exactly remember how i found this site, but i think i was havin some probs with my XP so i googled it, and here i am ;)

I guess I don't remember, I think a friend hooked me up with it when I was looking for some sort of information on something. Maybe visual styles or graphic stuff/ web development.

It won't let me view my first first post... probably deleted it was so long ago. Now I mostly just peruzz and read through some stuff.

    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
