looks interesting, but I'm a bit dissapointed that it's not WLM that comes out with Vista messenger first...

And if they had, everyone + dog would be screaming *monopoly* or *anti-trust*. Part of being Microsoft is largely being given *disincentives* to compete in the area of free products such as IM software.

I just downloaded the preview of YM for Vista, and it does have some rather nice features (even compared to YM 9.0 beta, which preceded it on the same PC). There is a bit of a learning curve, but it should be pretty interesting learning the new Hoo and putting it through its paces.

Performance & RAM usage is very bad on my P4 3 Ghz system with GeForce 6600GT & 1.5 GB RAM, running Windows Vista.

They removed so many features, like Photoshare & webcam....right now this is just like Pidgin, a good text only IM Client. It's also quite buggy right now....

waiting for the final version :), I have uploaded the offline installer to my Skydrive

no 64bit Vista... what a bunch of crap.. somebody should ask Microsoft what exactly was the point of x64 Windows if we are running apps in 32bit mode or they are just not compatible with x64 bit Windows.

I don't know how much Microsoft has to do with this. I mean from what I can tell you have to go out of your way to get a program to not work in 64 bit.

As for why does so much run in 32 bit mode? Ask third party developers. MS has nothing to do with that, Adobe won't even do Flash for 64 bit.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
