Sorry to be a spoilsport, but I find this thread quite desperate. It seems that this thread is a free pass to spam anything you like. But most importantly, that fact Neowin has almost hit 8 million is amazing. So why tarnish that by using this thread to almost "cheat" our way to 8 mil. That fact that we got here by posting what we have posted, to contribute etc and then flood this thread with crap just to boost the amount. Power leveling almost. Seems to disrespect everything Neowin has worked for. But then again, this is all my E-pinion and that ultimately means nothing.

You use to be a subscriber... what happened?

I don't consider this a free pass at all, I just know we won't hit the 8-million mark in time, because this seems to be a slow couple of months... If you can't beat'em, join'em!

I see your toaster, and raise you a hammer, 4 standing bullets, and 2 knocked down!

I agree.

Everyone is just having a bit of fun.

I've laughed more in here than I have in all my years on Neowin :p

To actually worry over a potential couple of hundred/thousand of posts of images/offtopic in here in comparison to the MILLIONS of helpful/useful ones on the way to 8 million is silly IMO :rofl:

But hey, if moderation wants people to stop talking nonsense/joking around in here, I can understand why and would respect it.

ps. As long as the 8millionth post isn't Rappy posting Pedobear, I'm fine with things ;)

I think if any of the mods had a problem with this thread it would've been closed by now...

That said, it does seem like a truely spam thread but hey, it's funny and if it helps us meet the 8m mark who cares! :D

Oh and i thought it was high time this came up...

Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;

I was going to say the samething, right down to rappy posting pedobear LOL

If a mod/admin didn't like the way this was going, it would be locked, we would all be banned, and no one would speak another word of it.

or are they waiting for the 8th million to pass, then do all of that LOL. It is only a bit of fun, and at least it is all in one topic, rather then scattered over the forum, making the mod's job harder.

I am still laughing over the cow smiling from a few dozen pages back.

She's 12.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By thartist · Posted

      This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.
