10 years and counting for me.

Neowin, even though it's changed completely thru the years, is still the backbone of my web browsing experience.

Actually wherever I tend to go in the world, it's one of the things that make me feel comfortably 'at home' :)

:| A 4-year-old thread resurrects!

Lol - I lurked on Neowin for 2 years (2001-2003) before finally joining on Aug 4th, 2003.

Nice to see all these old timer's reminiscing from their retirement homes :p (just kidding)

(I used to lurk back in my xp days, when I realised thoosje's sidebar's news feed gadget defaulted to neowin, and that was my introduction to neowin like 6 or 7 years ago, even tho I only joined just over 2 years ago, mostly my experience of the site, and it's users have been fun, worthwhile and enlightening, I would go as far as educational.. the things I've learned from some of the forum posts have helped answer some questions I wouldn't have dared ask.

And it's always nice to meet new people, even if it's online looking for advice on something :)

Another 3 years under the Neowin Bridge. Makes me 11 years as a member here.

I was quite suprised to see so many "ol timers" still active on Neowin.

A great History when you look back from the early days.

Thanks for posting guys.

Thanks for coming back/staying :p As a Supervisor who's only been a member here since 2007, it's interesting for me to learn about the history by seeing old threads and members who have been here from the start.

I've been here too long.

I don't really know what that means though. It's like saying I've been using soap for too long. There's not really anything else out there which is as useful. :rofl:

I remember this thread from the first time round...I guess that shows how long I've been around.

Coming up on 9 years. I couldn't imagine what I would be doing if I hadn't been introduced to Neowin. It's pretty much the first and last site I visit when I open my browser.

I was around when iexbeta was doing not so legal things ala XP beta links, and Internet Explorer as well.

I was checking out the forums for a while and I think it was when Steve/Redmak decided to host a beta in the forums for signed up members only that I ended up joining. Otherwise I was around since day 1 or 2. :D

Gunna be around for a while yet too, can't get rid of me that easy!

Who let this riff-raff in, 10 years or gtfo

Im just stirring guys, theres no super secret 10 year only thread....:p

Great to see a community with so many long-term members in it, says a lot I think, will always remember Windows Neptune/Whistler as it lead me to neowin and we lived happily ever after, the end.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
