I cant remember the actual reason, but I came here linked from iexbeta looking for download links of the beta of IE5 i think it was. Back then the rules were very lax so links to the betas were put on the front page all the time. I remember my first post being in the desktop thread thou.

I've been coming to neowin for tech news for sooo long I don't even know how I found it or why I registered. I do know I've seen at least 3 major site revisions since I started coming here. I used have a set of 4 sites that'd open when I opened my browser, Neowin is the only one that is still in that list, the other 3 either closed down or became total crap.

I also don't think this is my original account, I had one here under rstat1, but forgot the PW and no longer had the email address I used to register it.

Anyone here remember xBeta.net?

Came over from Overclockers.com, not sure why I signed up here, but it was something to do with the early Longhorn days, but I do remember coming to Neowin just before XP was released, just didn't bother signing up until Overclockers.com died down a bit.

found it years ago.. this was THE SITE that gave the latest news on the windows and such....

i believe i found very soon after the sites original creation :)

stayed here for a long time, loved the theme's for XP... and the forums...

stopped visiting, after i realized i have almost 4000 posts, and i am wasting time here.

now i drop by once in a while... since it is still a great news source.. not as rouge as it used to be, but it is all for the better.

ps. interesting to see the same people i used to remember, still active and posting... so many years after :D

you know who you are - you have more the 20k posts now

I had an issue with wmplayer.exe running all the time (process) in the background I googled it it brought me to this forum. Someone had the same issue with Vista SP1 (I have XP Pro SP3) I figured out what was causing it during reading the post. I Registered to this forum so I can help the person with the same problem.

I have very advanced computer skills that involve security, & virus, malware, malicious programs, and trojan annalist & removal.

Also customizing of Windows, tweaking, also troubleshooting.

I figured hell I could help others also problems I have someone can help me then I can help others.

Plus I have my own Windows forum which no one goes to lol.

I have been browsing and reading this site since the beginning to be honest. I simply never signed up for an account because I was never big on forum usage. Over the years I've changed and I was reading like usual and decided hell with it let me sign up for an account. I actually had issues with NeoWin while at work before the upgrade and such where pages took forever to load and the register page never would load (I tried a couple times). Thankfully that problem was resolved recently and I then signed up for an account. A few days after registering I thought for all the great free information I've read about over the years, I felt moved to become a subscriber and I don't regret it! :cool:

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
