Please oh please make this thread die a horrible death...

I second that motion!

Stop Whining ppl. The thread asked for an answer. Asking If anyone knows if MS intentionally posted that for somekind of an Ad or was it just a coincidence..... yea It has some optical illusion also.

Its you who bring up the thread in front guys, Im not making junk or any to get this thread to come up the list. you guys just post something saying that you hate this thread and woa. the thread goes up again with few more 13k+ views.

I wonder how you will react if MS used this as an Ad for real. just kidding..

LOOK! The 7's there to, MS planned it :shiftyninja:

Really, I wonder how much time u spend to get that image and tell some crap.. ;)

I agree as well.

But, for the sake of argument, let's say the 7 logo is in the orb. The bottom line is...SO WHAT? Who cares?

This thread is quite meaningless and should be locked, in my opinion.

Obviously the author of this thread is interested and also some other people in this thread are. Does that answer your question of "Who cares?". Just because you don't care about something, it doesn't mean other people don't...

You're actually serious? I'm not trying to be confrontational with a mod, but this thread is totally absurd. Honestly....why is the theory as to whether a 7 is supposedly hidden in the orb or not relevant to anything?

By the way...A 7 was found hidden on a can of Campbell's Soup!!

@UncleSpellbinder :laugh: :laugh:

LOL at you. I wonder. Dont you get anything ? just Stop whining. You get this only ? man you'v wasted a lot of time for that.. Understand the Posts Question and post relevent stuff. A question was asked and you ?

match the windows lounges 7 mark and talk. any kindergarden kid can find 7s anywhere. but this is a exact match. Even it turns out to be a coincidence or an optical illusion.

you just made the thread go back to the tops. ;)

Wasn't "whining". Was actually just responding to Calum. The Campbell's Soup thing was added on a whim. Thought it was funny.

In any event, you're right about bringing to the top! :laugh:

My god, this is still an active thread? When I first saw this soon after it was posted I just did a /facepalm and quickly hit the Back button.

I never thought that this would go this much. 13K+ views ? I think facepalming isnt enough. :punch:

others also are trying to see things in a different angle. ;)

There's absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing with a moderator's opinion, so don't worry about that :)

Yes, I am serious about this, especially after seeing the following image from Imran Imran Hussain's blog (ithinkdifferent) -

It can clearly be seen that the '7' logo fits perfectly on that corner of the Windows flag and it's likely that the '7' logo was modelled off that. I think it's a co-incidence but it's still a possibility and I would never have known that it fits perfectly if it wasn't for this thread by Cjay, as I would never have thought to look around.

So yes, I am serious :) I'm interested in this and I know some others are. It seems members either agree with this thread as they see the possbility or they vehemently disagree. If members disagree, why post? Especially when they're posting things like "Who cares", "Why is this thread still alive" and nothing else. I see no reason for them to post of all.

As for finding the '7's in other places, including Campbell's tins, I don't think any of you understand. Look at the image above. The '7' fits perfectly on the corner of the Windows flag and it is the official '7' logo for the operating system named 'Windows 7' (that's how it's relevant). As for the Campbell's tin, whether there is a '7' or not in the logo, the number '7' has nothing to do with Campbells; therefore, the jokes don't work, in my opinion :) Find something where there is a hidden '7' and the '7' relates to the product itself and maybe it will have more credibility as a joke :)

Of course, that's all just my opinion, though and nothing to do with me being a moderator.

I'm pretty sure that this was intentional by MS and not just a coincidence

But what I don't get, is why the newest logo is blue ?

They've produced 4 different versions of this '7' logo, each with a different background colour; relating to the 4 'Windows flag' colours.

The screenshot you've posted is of a different '7', though, which I think is unofficial. I've only seen it on deviantArt in people's galleries and nowhere else. Where did you find it? :)

Took me a few mins to find the page again:

"Windows 7 Logo leaks are definitely real"

http://windows7center.com/news/windows-7-l...efinitely-real/

Thanks ;)

I wonder why Microsoft China have the other '7' on their website still :/ Hmm, well this new '7' looks nice. I'm currently deciding which one I like more :D

Cjay you are a very funny little spammer. Those without the intelligence to contribute to meaningful conversations often are. And yet you keep trying! Awesome! :rofl:

me a Spammer ?

iv less than 40 posts and you call me a spammer ?

:blink: Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately.

:spam:

Read Calums post and get an idea.

Thats a quite good response to Unclespellbinder and to others as well who either likes or dislike this. I know many doesnt get the point here.

Thanks :) I think it makes sense.

Also, you're far from a spammer ;)

That's a picture of the 'old 7' :)

To get some perspective, for people to see - this is the new '7' and the old '7', side-by-side.

New - newlogo.jpgOld - old7.png

With just over 3 months before the official release

The "New" logo would have to be the final logo I presume :)

More than likely, if it's definitely true :)

I'm surprised I haven't seen it reported anywhere else, though.

I still don't know which I prefer :D

There can only be 1 and its lucky 7

newlogo.jpg

The original 4 square logo is not involved (that I can see)

Now, what's that new orb going to look like? :D

Edit:

Hey I was just looking twice at it, and it looks more like a Sock Puppet :D There's even two eyes !

Thanks :) I think it makes sense.

guess we have to wait.....

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
