supposedly, the public alpha is sept. 22 :)

i know i'll be downloading that. i've been waiting for soooo long

www.cairoshell.com

They just picked sept 22 hoping ODST's release would overshadow them postponing it again. :rolleyes:

edit: look at this notice from their site:

'Enable Desktop' is disabled.

The desktop icons are not functional with M1, please continue to use the desktop provided by Windows Explorer.

Taskbar buttons may overflow and not be accessible.

Taskbar buttons do not turn white when activated and may do so only intermittently.

Clicking an active taskbar button does not minimize it.

The taskbar does not populate once Cairo is started. You must activate any open applications for them to appear in the taskbar.

Items may disappear from the Windows taskbar when running Cairo. (Windows 7 users- You can avoid this by selecting the Always Combine option in the Windows Taskbar Control Panel.)

The White Menu Bar option is not available.

Not all tray icons will appear in the Cairo system tray area.

Newly installed or uninstalled programs may or may not show up in the AppGrabber until Cairo is restarted.

Many items are incomplete in this build.

This seems like Vapourware to me, they where promising an Alpha release not that long after Vista RTMed. Nearly 3 years later, we are still waiting for it. Taking 3 years to get a releasable alpha makes Microsoft's XP to Vista progress look speedy :laugh:

A little more time and it might just pass Duke Nukem Forever. :rofl:

always called fail on this project, the "project managers" always were a bunch of arrogant nobodys who had their own ideas about how to manage an IT project. Normally that wouldn't be such a bad thing, lots of hobby projects are run this way and people learn from them. However I lost all respect from them when they started accepting donations and remained a closed source project. Those people giving donations have been ripped of imho.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By duhk · Posted

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
