Honestly, the context of the postings does give it kind of a smug feel. Not saying anything definitively, but his views are understandable.

Hm, I kind of understand what you mean, but I don't have that build of Messenger and - as much as I really want it - I just understand that they've got it through other means I don't have access to and accept that; I don't get annoyed with them posting screenshots because it's human nature to flaunt what you have over others :p Some will do that, others won't, but there's no need to get stressed/annoyed/angry over it :)

... you get ran over by a few police cars that carry the GPU you want before it's publicly available? :D

Little known secret: I'm the lead developer of A-Patch.

Thanks.

Jesus Christ, what are all you guys getting worked up over? It is just another IM client, the days of "omg must have" have well passed for me, and you would think some of you would be a little more mature. It'll go RTW/final eventually and then everyone will have it.

Yeah, most of you are probably setting yourselves up for disappointment anyways.

Yea I checked out the leaked version and was not overly impressed with any of the new features, infact I found them more of an annoyance

The only good thing was the tabbed convos

Yessir!

Disagreed. The new messenger offers some very nice new functionality and usability over previous ones. Just because there's no "groundbreaking" stuff, doesn't mean it won't good. I'm loving the small things - transitions, nice UI, new designs... it all just fits together nicely now.

Edit: Oh, and the new Windows 7 stuff is awesome :D

I don't see the point to get all excited and manic over something that'll probably have some annoying bugs in it, personally. :pinch:

It's pretty unbuggy, kthx

It's the best one out there for Windows Live and is very anticipated... they haven't updated in a long time.

The leaked build was very unfinished. It was labelled as 'leaked' for a reason - they hadn't added all of the features and hadn't finished some features; it was leaked during development, so why judge what to expect from a final product by looking at a leaked version of it? :/

Fair enough, main things I didnt like were:

Messenger - massive messenger screen by default not just buddy list

Mail - much more difficult to send a picture as an attachment rather than a photo email

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.

      The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
