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.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
