i'll be the moany one and say he shud be disqualified because he didnt follow rules (1.4mb file)

:laugh:

If I had to to say something, Id say the following:

1: This guy is professional....Top notch audio system, top notch production.....etc. I think he could have bought the laptop himself and for a few others on Neowin and still have money.

2: There was more than one person involved

3: He really didn't say what he would do with his pet dragon; He just invented a story.

It was very good, very well produced, but I think there were a couple better entrys (excluding mine)

The shortlist should have been posted and in a period of days, member's would (tracking IPs) vote on the shortlist.

Nonetheless, good job to dustino71

I'm not going to critisise him because even my own one skirted around the subject, and no one should be critisised for making something good, because it's not a "who made the audio file that sounds like this person really needs a new computer" competition! :D

Too easy to skirt around, and very much subject to fraud by scripting, or conscripting friends to vote multiple times.

It is so easy for people to whine after the fact, rather than starting their own site and hosting a contest like this where they can make up their own rules.

...and here I was thinking we were going to avoid the moaning seen post-competition on the other sites.

Please. Be gracious.

Heh. On the internet, nothing is avoidable. :p

Also, The decision of the staff is final, so I don't understand why people would be whining and stuff, cause no matter what they do, they won't change it :)

Hey thanks a ton for the kind messages guys! I've been a reader of neowin for several years now, I don't post all that much on the forums, but love the site. Thanks again to Rob, and all the admins, I jumped out of my chair when I read the winner post on the main page!

I'm very honored to have made 3rd place. Infact i've never been so happy to make 3rd in my whole life. truthfully I thought I had it in the bag with my death of a dragon. Until I heard Dustio's then I was like... AHHHH $()R*)*#$. :laugh:

But contradulations Dustio, you made one hell of a mp3 :yes:

Then last night I listened to the 2nd place entry and laughed at the end. So far that was my favorite.

Seriously, anyone else "complaining" that they don't think the winners should have won, will get a swift kick in the arse by yours truly.

      No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!

      Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
