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.

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
