What I Am Referring 2 Is The Microsoft Security Updates CD 4 Windows 98/ME Beta Program In 2003 Or 2004, Just FYI.

I had two cd's shipped to my house and I knew the cd's were coming before anyone else did. I have first hand knowledge of a lot of things inside M$.

You Must Have Been In The More Advanced Beta Tester Group Then, Because I Was In The Beginner Group In That Beta Test, And First I Got A RC1 CD Shipped 2 My House On A Saturday By DHL, Than After A Very Long Delay And A Whole Lot Of Microsoft Silence In The News Groups (That I Had Access 2), I Ended Up Having 2 Download RC2 Of That Beta On A Dial Up Connection, Just FYI. In Other Words, RC2 Of That Beta Was Download Only, Just FYI. Then Microsoft Finally Just Plain Closed The Beta And Cut Off The Download After Hearing Lots Of Complaints From People With Dial Up Connections, Just FYI.

Yea thanks for letting everyone know and getting their hopes up for nothing. When you post something here you should have common courtesy to have a link to the download for people to download from not just a document you found or stumbled upon. Now no one shoud have heard of this until it is released. If you are a true tester of M$ stuff you should know this by your agreement you have made with them. Well I am out and to bed and haven't seen the link as of yet. But IF IT IS RTM, we will all download today at some point in time. I will check back tom afternoon to see if link is provided or this guy was messin with us. That would **ss a lot of people off ya know if you are only joking. Goodnight peeps.

The other thing that annoys me (and I'm sure I did it at some stage, but have learned) is beta testers thinking they are somehow special.

Note. Beta Testers are only there because Microsoft considers them a free and useful resource to test buggy code and spread excitement about products.

Beta Tester = A normal plod like anyone else <> God <> 'The Chosen' <> Holier than my cotton socks. :rolleyes: FYI ... :| FYI !

If I had to make a guess the week of April 8th sometime in that time frame it will be RTM or maybe it is now M$ just might be making sure it is set so when they RTW it will be right and no one blames them for something going wrong should something go wrong. Well again night.

    • Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers by Sayan Sen Following the release of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE last week for $549 (our review), AMD currently has a couple of great deals on the more powerful 9070 XT wherein the GPU is on sale for $650. We already covered the Gigabyte Gaming model a couple of days ago which is still live at that price. Aside from that, the white ICE variant is also at the same price (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is interesting to note considering white cards are generally more expensive as they come with a premium attached. Similar to the Gaming model, the ICE card too employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The tech specs of the card are given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 3060 MHz (Reference Card: 2970 MHz) Game Clock Up to 2520 MHz (Reference Card: 2400 MHz) Stream Processors 4096 Memory Size 16 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Bus Width 256-bit PCI Express Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Maximum Displays Supported 4 Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 56 mm (L × W × H) (2.7 slot) Recommended Power Supply 750 W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin PCIe Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G Graphics Card (GV-R907XGAMINGOCICE-16GD): $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $750) If your budget is lower, check this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB deal out for only $330 wherein you get the latest James Bond game free. This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the previous deals that we have covered, OR you can also visit Amazon US deals page.

      Wow, this is some Iran, Cuba, China, Russia, North Korea-level citizen surveillance right there, the UK's government has gone totally mad. Power trip indeed, their politicians are totally out of control about this issue. They're starting to cross limits I wouldn't have imagined, to be honest. British people, fight this, your privacy and freedoms are in danger. Vote this government out of power.
