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.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By grunger106 · Posted

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.

      It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
