OMG! People liking and using Windows 2000 should be banned from the Internet and confined to Intranets only!

why? Windows 2000 is a very good OS in its own rights, unfortunately it's not updated anymore so I wouldn't count on it for anything critical but it's still a good OS

Not sure what happened to my previous post, it might got deleted but i will repeat.

Windows 2000 GUI is the best looking OS GUI till this day. That classic view had specific shade of gray color which is not found in any of other Microsoft Releases.

Windows GUI is getting worse and worse with Windows XP release.

I miss Windows 2000 Professional, and it was and it's still the best OS ever released.

I think Windows 7 is going to be better then Vista, much better GUI wise which one step forward. I'm glad Microsoft is going to remove Windows Mail. We really don't need duplicates Live Mail -> Windows Mail and things like that.

Could you explain what "specific shade of gray" is being used, and where, that isn't in any other Windows release? Because Windows Classic on both XP and Vista look identical to Windows 2000, other than the icon sets used. Not to mention that while Windows 2000 may have had a different shade of gray, it can still be duplicated in XP and Vista by changing the hex color codes.

Windows 2000 was a good OS back in it's time. But for today, even if they did update it still with security patches, when you have to add in support for newer tech and so on, then you'll end up changing the core OS anyways. Thus, you get a new Windows version in the end.

Like it or hate it Vista has done needed core OS changes, doing those was never going to be a smooth transition in the end, but it had to happen.

It is updated regularly. So far two major updates called Windows XP and Windows Vista. Next scheduled update is Windows 7. ;)

haha I'll lol to that! :laugh:

Doesn't it make you wonder why Apple is rushing Snow Leopard for January to compete with Windows 7? It makes you question the quality control aspect too.

Im undecided about the new task bar... I like the idea but its a bit on the large side..Hopefully you can make it smaller.

you're kidding right?

as has been mentioned many times before, the new taskbar is a whole 10 pixels larger. and if you cant afford 10 pixels of screen real estate, then there is an option for 'smaller icons' which brings the taskbar height down to the old size

maybe they were expecting a later ship date for win7 and were hoping to go up against it with osx 10.7 Lion or something.. j/k

Well, of course there is branch caching, that might really be a very nice new feature, especially for companies, and bitlocker doing usb sticks come to mind as well.

Also I'm very very pleased with the new media center, as it really provides new features and things that really should have been implemented long ago (like the ability to resume and fast forward movies other then the build in format used by media center, now these also work on xvid and similar formats).

Regarding Snow Leopard, maybe Apple will finally be able to make SMB packet signing work (one of the 300+ new features of Leopard as promised by Apple, that particular feature still doesn't work in Leopard 10.5.5).

That way domain admins don't have to lower security just because they have some OSX machines on their domain...

One thing I don't like, but that just is a part of the new Media Center update (also available for Vista) is that recorded tv is now saved in a new format (.wtv, old was .dvr-ms) that can also record in HD. Only thing is, it uses about 1GB for 10 minutes. A one hour recording took 6GB of space. Standard definition. That's HUGE, ten times as much as old .dvr-ms...

Wow, I have one recorded show that takes up 1,2 GB of space and lasts for 38 minutes, but I have to admin that I haven't changed, nor did I find a way yet to change the recording quality settings.

edit after a quick google, it became apparent that you cannot change the quality for digital tuners, that's where I get confused I guess, as on my main media center I have an analogue tuner.

OSX Snow Leopard is just like Win7 will be. Cleaning up and performance boosting. No really special new features that you'll notice (except maybe the taskbar in W7)

Well that's not really fair. I mean, I think there are already some cool uses for my new feature popping up.

Yea, of course, but it still is mainly under-the-hood. No big changes.

yehyehyeh, nice eye-candy an all that, but does windows explorer have tabbed-browsing?

Tabbed browsing... Is that really so important? Everyone keeps asking for it, but I think having two explorer windows open and just dragging each one to a side does a fine job for quick file transfers from one folder to another.

Thats right, tabbed browsing of windows explorer though some may find it great for most part is useless and more of a pain then a gain.

Exactly. I can't even count how many people asked me how to disable tabs in IE7 because they found it to complicated. Better not change things that are good.

Windows 2000 is probably the best performing OS Microsoft ever released.

Zippy, feature streamlined and good for gaming at the time.

I think, if implemented right, tabbed browsing in Windows Explorer could be really useful. However, it's not a major thing that needs addressing and there are more important issues and features. For example, the new taskbar is amazing and I'm glad something like this got focus over something like a tabbed Windows Explorer.

It would be nice to see a tabbed Windows Explorer though. It would make positioning the Windows easier when copying as you wouldn't have to try and get them side by side, you could just drag and drop the files to the tab you want to move/copy them to and keep your one Windows Explorer window the size you wish always :)

If there was a 2000 x64 I'd still be using it.

and i am sure you would use windows 3.1 if it had a 64bit version yet lacked hardware device drivers and software compatabilty and stuff . but that is beside the point you would still try and sue it cause it is 64bit and uses hardly no resources

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
