The new icons overall sure are dreadful, Microsoft still hasn't learnt that chang for the sake of change still isn't a good thing.

I like them, I think they're an improvement on the '07 icons at least.

Just installed office 2010 and although I really like the new outlook the icon is just hideous ... To me it looks like the Linux penguin who got beaten up by some MS employees ...

AHAHHAHAHA yes I see it, too. I agree, these icons better be placeholders, they're awful!

And what happened to the new mail notification overlay on the new Windows 7 superbar? I don't see it :cry:

No, the icons will be final. Maybe MS might tweak them a little but that is it, the place holder icons were infact the Office 2007 ones.

The new icons overall sure are dreadful, Microsoft still hasn't learnt that chang for the sake of change still isn't a good thing.

What?!? MS change the Office icons with each release, it makes it easy to identify which version of Office is installed without needing to even run it! and the icons are fine, they blend into 7 much better then the Office 2007 ones do.

EDIT: To what this topic is about, somebody has way too much time on their hands to notice that and then make a big deal out of it...it's just a f$%#ing icon get over it! damn people, what a bunch of whiners!

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
