I Now Have Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1, Just FYI. I Have Removed The Pictures Of Open Source Linux Ubuntu Alpha 1, From My Blog Since I Am Unsure Whether Posting Those Pictures Is Legal Or Not (It may Violate Microsoft's Rules Even If It Does Not Violate Ubuntu's Rules), Just FYI. 2 Get Alpha 1, All You Need 2 Do Is Create A Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support Installation, Install All Available Updates, Then Change The Upgrade Setting In Software Sources From Long Term Support Releases Only, 2 Normal Releases, And Then Type (Sudo Update-Manager -D) From The Terminal Command Prompt In Accessories, Just FYI.

Just FYI, I never saw someone calling it like this "Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack One Ultimate Edition Release 2 Web"

Well, come on, cut the poor lad some slack, he is American after all. Land of the free, home of the oh-so-special :)

If you have had problems with Vista SP1 (which is a tested and released package), I find it strange that you would be running development alpha versions of a new OS. :ermm:

It seems that you would almost be guaranteed to end up with more problems than you experienced in production-released Vista.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      But we are talking about Elon Musk, no AT&T... I know big companies are evil, but Elon and his companies are in another level which is much more dangerous.
    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
