Anticipation on June 26...Is Neowin News predicting correctly?


Recommended Posts

lol

This site is hosted for Microsoft by arvato digital services.

? 2009 This site is maintained by or for one of the following Microsoft Corporation affiliates: Microsoft Licensing, GP, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, or Microsoft (China) Co. Limited, and the applicable entity is referred to as “Microsoft” throughout this site

Probably just announcement of upgrade program for software or anytime upgrade.

Of course we predict things correctly. How dare you doubt our supreme foresight? :shiftyninja:

wo!!wo!!wo!!wo!! :o

Wait until June 26, if win7 did RTM, then you'd get my salute.

Good find (Y)

Actually the credit goes to segobi in 7F, but I guess the poor guy got hypnotized by that avatar and sort of acted slow lol. :laugh:

I think this is just going to be about the upgrade program which will give people, who buy new Windows Vista computers, a chance to upgrade for free.

It looks VERY Windows 9x styled...

True, but then so does the official Windows 7 website, as it looks exactly like that :)

Site registered to "Microsoft Licensing GP" in Reno, NV? Hosted on a German server belonging to Bertelsmann Media. Maybe this is for their European customers? Or they are outsourcing marketing? It just seems strange that a site for Microsoft's flagship product would be handled outside of Redmond and the main MSFT infrastructure.

Edit: seems the site has changed since I saw it this morning; so the bottom says that it's maintained on behalf of MSFT by Microsoft Licensing GP, and MLGP's website seems to suggest that they cater to special groups, like OEMs and not to the general retail market...

This is nothing people. Microsoft renamed "Windows 7 Technical Guarantee Program" to "Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program"

All it will list is the information for that program which is offering free upgrades to Windows 7 for users who buy Vista after June 26th. Of course they aren't going to update the page until then, or new PC sells would stall before that date.

Read all about it here:

I was just too bored for no-action lol. Sorry if that misled you. :sleep:

Haha ;) I took one look at the picture after I posted and realized that. Just a tad on edge, that is all.

winfuture.de, apart from reporting the "showstopper bug" that delays the RTM, is still holding their place for the June 29 prediction. And....there is a rumor(repeat: rumor), that 7265 has been rebranded RTM gold code....so Neowin could still be a winner. ...... :rolleyes:

    • Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 2 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 2: Resolved the problem that caused a "403 Forbidden" error when downloading some files Fixed a problem causing IDM download panel not to appear on some websites Fixed a bug that caused a crash when converting some TS files to MP4 Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 2 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • It's in Experimental (26H2). Settings->Windows Update->Windows Insider Program. Then a) select Experimental, b) below that, select "Advanced Options" (where you will see the three options for "Experimental" builds -> select 26H2 (name change from 25H2 is rolling; so might be 25H2)
    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
