I've been thinking about this recently. I seem to remember this was THE place for Windows news during one of the betas, maybe XP beta. But I'm almost certain that's how I got onto Neowin, because it made sense, New Windows - or at least that's how I read it.

Has Neowin been around that long? I was trying everything including Wikipedia to actually see if anyone's written a bio of the site.

They got it (Y)

At least some facts...

We've got some info on the about page as well :D

I was stressing Wikipedia, because he mentioned it and supposedly didn't have luck finding it. :)

And the About page is a good source of info, definately a good read! (Y)

As an aside, I noticed you joined the same day, just 6 months before me.

I don't remember precisely? I know for the longest time, I always referred XP users who didn't like Luna to this site to get the official uxtheme patcher for many years. I also came here to get the patcher whenever it updated when service packs came out for XP. What made me register? I also don't remember. I guess I just started browsing it one day and stuck with it, and when I wanted to reply to something I registered. Off and on I link threads from this forum to other people on various IRC rooms or IM protocols to reinforce a point or to show news on something.

      On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously

      I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.

      The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
