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"

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.....

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
