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.

Ugh.

I don't know about you but I'm very picky about the icons on my superbar. IMHO I consider horrible icons such as these to be just as bad as pixelated, 8x8 icons enlarged to 256x256. This is one reason why Steam isn't pinned to my superbar.

But since I heavily depend on Office, some of its apps will have to be pinned to my superbar. And I really, really, REALLY HATE these new icons, I will, for the first time in my life, have to change to something that look better. :(

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

True. Vista was mostly changes just for change's sake, and people really hated it. Did MS learn from it? No, not really.

Yes.

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:

It's still there :)

I agree the icons are crap, but did anyone notice they took a bit from Gmail and organized conversations like Google already does??

Actually they did it in Office 2007 as well but it was crap and annoying. It's much more refined and usable in Office 2010 :)

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.

      For you to jump on and defend your sweetheart? I agree, it didn't.

      Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
