you went to change it to power off ?

check power management on the left side there are "choose what the power botton do" from here you can configure it to shutdown instead

After 1.5 years my uncle finally asked me how to do it. He couldn't find it. It's the most annoying thing in Windows Vista I think.

No no. I know how to change the button. But for people who don't do deal with that type of stuff and don't customize how the computer works, it would be very obscure. Remember, think of all the people who have to use a computer but have no desire to use one. They use a few programs and don't worry about the OS.

I might be the only person who actually used sleep. Microsoft tried to push sleep because it is a pretty low power state with an instant boot time.

I guess not all configs work well with it, or some people just hated it?

I like sleep and it works well with my computer. So I'm happy. :)

I would have to agree on that. It looks out of place..

I agree but i think Vista Icons for Sleep/Shutdown were confusing. I think they should put Icons back but have it more distinct. Maybe Moon Icon to sleep, and Red Icon for shutdown, and Yellow Icon for logoff. Maybe just one Icon and so when they click on it just like in Windows 2003 Server little window pops up with options to logoff, shutdow, hibernate or sleep.

Starting with Windows Vista I have always used sleep mode on both notebook and desktop computers because of the hybrid sleep functionality (similar to what Mac OS X 10.4 and higher can do), if there's a loss of power the system still comes back up nearly instantaneously in the previous state unharmed.

In Dutch, Microsoft made it all very complicated when switching from XP to Vista.

In XP we had

Standby (sleep)

Slaapstand (hibernate)

Now in Vista, it became

Slaapstand (sleep)

Sluimerstand (hibernate)

And it is EXTREMELY confusing as two of them just switched around. I'm always puzzled when I see the dialog. I'm glad they have put back the shutdown button as default.

Build 7000 has been leaked. Trying to find it, but there's only a few people that have it.

"7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso" is the name.

Searching by that name, I found a blog (google it) that - get this - apparently has a riddle which points to the torrent. I don't plan to install till official public beta - just a bit of help for more enthusiastic neowinians around here.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
