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.

I joined a long time (maybe 2002,2003)before the name I go by now (previously VDUBVR6). But for some reason my account vanished... Anyway, I came across this site thanks to the now osnn.net think they used to be called xp something... Either way I'm a full time resident here only :D

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By ad47uk · Posted

      Still hate Windows 11, I stuck it on my gaming machine again just for a nose to see what they had done, still as bad. Will restore Windows 10 back on it, suit MS anyway, they don't want me to run Windows 11 on it.

      Ms did go with the you must sign into an account thing with Windows 8 for a while. The same sort of thing they are doing with Windows now and the MS account.

      Hello, What sort of Microsoft Authenticator account login approval requests are you getting?  It is a generic authentication app and can be used with all sorts of services (Microsoft Account, Google Account, websites and services that support multi-factor authentication, etc.). Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Windows 8? Nah. I found Window 8 worked well, get a third party start menu to get rid of the start screen, I used Start is back and windows 8 was pretty good. I used it even when Windows 10 came out as I found Windows 10 was iffy on my machine at the time was AMD FX Bulldozer based. It was only when I updated the innards to Ryzen that I had no choice but to go to Windows 10 as MS made it difficult to stay with Windows 8. ME, yes, that was not great, I liked the look of it, but it was not stable, shame really because Windows 98SE was the best of the dos based Windows.
