I'm going to make a guess here and say the new dash should scale to whatever res you have, I don't see why it wouldn't look fine at 1080p or 720p etc.

All I want is a native 1080p UI, the only console that has that is the PS3. PLEASE XBOX!

I have my current system set at 1080p and maybe it's just me but I think the dash looks fine. What's off with it?

I doubt Microsoft genuinely gives a **** if people bust the NDA. Its probably more a formality than anything. If they were worried about leaks, they would only be doing internal betas.

Is what I was thinking. Sending out packs they knew this was bound to happen somewhere I can't imagine MS to be that naive.

They do, that's why there is an NDA

MS is very serious about NDA's. They have NDA's for a reason. They don't want to give competitors the upper hand or advance information so that they can be successful with a new product. They also want to test it in a every day environment before they release it to the general public so that they have a quality product.

I also abide by my NDAs. I recommend others do as well.

Yes, that's whey every time its been broken during game betas in the past, they haven't done anything to anyone :rolleyes:

suuure... as far as you know... I can tell you it's different, but the NDA prevents me from telling you anything so. But I'm not going to be talking about the beta.

I'm not trying to tell you not to abide by them. I abide by them as well. I'm just saying I don't think they care as much as you guys are assuming when its this late in the game. Competitors can't have an upper hand regarding Kinect. Nobody else is making anything like it or could even remotely do anything with any information before November when it releases. They aren't stupid, they know information is going to get out there NDA or not.

I would agree with that.

Doesn't change the fact that if you DO break the NDA, they will find you and they will ban you and boot you from the beta

Yeah I've not particularly seen any evidence of that when it comes to their Xbox betas. They can ban you, sure, but they can ban you for anything else they want too and they usually don't resort to that unless there's hacking or cheating going on. Think about it, there's not much information they could actually care to hide anymore, so to ban anyone in this beta for putting that out there is just to lose $50/year unnecessarily. They just aren't going to do it.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
