gotta wander why ?

it is not even beta 1

It looks exactly like Vista all over again. They should realize they need a completely new os. If people see it's Vista, they're going to say screw it.

:sleep:

and what wrong again with vista GUI to begin with (i know they will make some change at some points )

People would also say 'screw it' if they lost all compatibility with their existing programs and games.

It looks exactly like Vista all over again. They should realize they need a completely new os. If people see it's Vista, they're going to say screw it.

This is due to the fact that Microsoft released a emergency patch today for all versions of Windows with critical impact. Only Vista and Server 2008 are listed as important. As Windows 7 shares the same code base they need to patch the current versions of the OS out in the hand of limited testers and TAPs.

Here the link to the KB article which has the same KB number (958644) for Vista and Windows 7. Plus the issue with Vista was never security, it was more to do with performance and application compatibility.

Edit: Added KB number

Well, it was bound to happen sometime. I'd rather they catch this stuff while in beta anyways rather than after release if possible. :D

what make me puzzled who come it affected all version of windows

that suppose to mean it is being there for 6+ years

This gives new meaning to the words: 'world record'. At least they are patching it instead of letting it hang around or escalate into something serious.

A completely new os? new kernel? no.. Vistas is fine.. besides.. they dont start out by changing the interface, comeon wake up.

So people actually realise what the guy what responding to, it was:

in the other news

vista sp2 leaked in the wild :)

No "beta" in there. Now, can we get back on topic.

It is odd that it affected so many versions of Windows, but I'm glad they didn't wait for a patch tuesday.

...besides.. they dont start out by changing the interface, comeon wake up.

This is true; the UI is one of the last things they do; I guess a lot of folks don't remember how much Longhorn looked like XP until MS actually unveiled Aero. :)

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.

    • This looks awesome, I will request access via Steam later this afternoon!
    • Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?
