Sooo...basically everybody's assumptions thus far about whether or not 7105 is real, or fake, or RC, or newly forked RTM branch, is all conjecture and hearsay? Nothing definitive yet?

I bet even is MS emplyee would confirm current assumptions abour RC/RTM branches, 50% of people would still yell that its a fake, since he is not posting any pics and if he acualy would post pics, they would whine they are faked since there is no leak. However yes this numbers doesnt change much for "little" people like most of us are. They are just numbers... What represent this numbers is, how close we are to actual RC(escrow) and this might be more interesting for most of us :) Dont worry, we will talk in a few days about same things again ;) I bet when rc-escrow is actualy signed off and "avilable" to download there will be again first 3 pages full of people yelling its "fake".

Couldn't they at least make the "small icons" a litter bigger to fill the tile? Those really are very small...

It's a user option, to make them small.

wait, why does it show the same time as before, shouldn't It have the same or more time left before it expires?

The expiry date is specified by MS, not relative to the install date.

When I look at that image... is it just me, or can anyone else tell the font "Build 7105" and "090404" are 100% a tad bit more defined.. or bolder.. especially compared to the "-1235"

That shot.. is 100% fake.

I don't see any difference. Are you viewing it at proper resolution?

Btw, this news is now a front page post.

I lined it up with the real one, this image seems sharper, but definitely pretty good for trying to clone :p

I understand that, but that wasn't my statement. One can change between small and large icons but the smaller icons seem a little too small to actually be visible. My question is why can't MS just increase the size of the icons themselves (not the "tiles" which fit perfectly on the smaller taskbar). There is a lot of wasted space in those application "tiles".

Have you thought for one minute that the non-default background may have something to do with how it appears to you.... :hmmm:

Ah, fair enough.

Granted, for the watermark. But he may have lined up the about screen.

    • My external monitor suddenly isn't working and found out on my device manager that AMD radeon graphics has a "code 43"

      According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
