Okay, if memory serves me correctly. I was searching for info on XP before it was officially released, found a link to Neowin somewhere and checked the place out, loved it from the start. Bookmarked the site immediately.

About 6 months later, I was reading a thread with some pictures, said I needed to be registered to view them. Registered straight away. Been here lurking like a bad smell ever since!???:shiftyninja:

I have been checking Neowin's home page daily for a number of years now- I thought I was a member before, but I guess not. So, I registered (again?). This is one of the 4 main tech news sites I check daily, and have used tips and tricks given here to help others with computer problems. Still can't believe I hadn't registered before...unless it was so long ago, my username was back as available to use!

I can't remember how I originally stumbled upon it long ago, but I'm going to guess it was a link, since I am the worst about those. Especially on Wikipedia. I'll go for one article and end up clicking a link to a link to a link and suddenly I'm reading about the ancient Chinese practice of foot binding when all I was originally doing was fact-checking something I read about the Beatles. (True story.)

However, I actually signed up and started to post because of the encouragement of a friend at work, so I chose that option in the poll.

I'm having a hard time remembering, but I think a friend of mine browsed the main page often, and it just seemed like a decent compilation of all the other tech news sites rolled in to one location. Then I saw the site had a forum. I sat down and haven't moved since :laugh:

    • Just remember - Microsoft is a trillion dollar company. They didn't have to raise the price this high. They chose to.
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility by Taras Buria If you use PowerToys on Windows 11 or 10, you probably know that the app has quite a few utilities for window management. Fancy Zones, Always on Top, Crop and Lock, just to name a few. Soon, Microsoft will add another one, and fans of Alt + Tab should be excited. Proposed by Clint Rutkas, the module has a very simple idea: use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows within one app. For example, if you have four browser windows open, Alt + ` will let you switch between them just like Alt + Tab switches between all running apps. Here is the utility description from its GitHub pull request: Like other PowerToys utilities, Alt Window Cycle will offer shortcut customization. You will be able to use default shortcuts (Alt + ` for the next window or Alt + Shift + ` for the previous one) or remap them to something else. For now, there is no information on when Alt Window Cycle will arrive, so we will have to wait for the next PowerToys feature update (Microsoft usually pushes them on a monthly basis). Recently, Microsoft released version 0.100, which reworked the shortcuts guide, introduced an extension gallery for Command Palette, and more. Shortly after, version 0.100.1 arrived as a bug-fixing update. PowerToys is available on Windows 10 and 11, and you can get the app from the official GitHub repository, the Microsoft Store, or winget. Although Windows 10 is no longer supported, PowerToys developers currently do not plan to drop the now-unsupported operating system. And with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year in the Extended Security Update, you can expect PowerToys to remain available on Windows 10 for quite a while.
