For the first time I have the feeling they are really doing something about stuff that has been needing updates for such a long time like Notepad, Wordpad, Paint. These are good programs but they need to be updated over time to sync with current formats / needs.

I think people who 'hate' ribbon are being stubborn. It's there to make our lives easier, just adopt to it. :)

Okay. I don't mean to get off-topic, but I really am lost. I sent my resume to [email protected], but I've sent it three times and have gotten failure notices. I tried using my Hotmail (windows live) address twice, both of those didn't work so I sent a test message from my Hotmail to my Yahoo, and that worked... so then I sent it again from my Yahoo, and got the error again.

Was the server shut-down, temporarily offline for some reason, or... what?

Thanks for your help. =P

That email is a NO REPLY email address so don't expect to get anything other than the failed sent notice.

And is there anyway I can sign up to become a beta tester?

Are you signed up to ms connect? Not sure how getting on the betas works these days but that's the place to start. Just make sure you participate properly in any beta you sign up to.

I think that address has been obsoleted by Microsoft Connect. That address was for the old Microsoft Beta Place.

Some people are asking how can they get in to test this.

most likely if you tested vista and such you'll get in.

Windows 7 I believe will be a much smaller, more private, intimate beta. I think what happened with Vista was it got too large and unwieldy with up 20 to 30 thousand beta testers. I am not discriminating against that, but I believe, too many cooks in the kitchen tend to spoil the pot. Of course Microsoft will accept new eyes to look at the code. But, I just don't see that free for all happening with 7 like it did with Vista.

Wow... that is really nice. I assume there will be a new Microsoft Office for Windows 7?

There will be a new Microsoft Office, codename 'Office 14', its not necessarily for Windows 7, although they are most likely to be launched together and be more synergistic.

What makes you think it has anything to do with MS employees being superstitious?

just going by what i read

Most sources agree that Microsoft will skip version "13" due to superstition (see triskaidekaphobia). Regardless of what they call it, expect the inertia of current installs to slow adoption of both Office 2007 and its future incarnations

if thats not the case why was 13 skipped ;)

    • Apple Maps

      By Joni_78 · Posted

      My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?

      There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
