I think MSFN is the only forum left where Microsoft fanboys don't attack critics who want to improve Windows quality.

My mind is full of Windows XP

Tweaking Win 10 into tameness is a losing game. It's much better to keep on any previous version till MS wakes up, and gets real...

I am so sick of Windows TEN (Terrorist EditioN)

Got Win 10 all working with all my security, privacy, and usability tweaks. But it stays in a VM since it's no better than what I already have with Win 8.1 and Microsoft is sure to destabilize it soon.

EoS != EoL MS can decree EoS, but users can postpone EoL for as long as they care to.

For those of you that do not know or that want to know. I am a girl not a guy lol. PS: I wonder how many females we got around here?

xper fixed the Internal Server Error! All attachments may be downloaded once again! Yay!

I personally think we should start working on an "extended kernel" for Windows 7, just like how blackwingcat made one for Windows 2000, which can port Windows 10 functions and the like. It won't be long until manufacturers/devs succumb to the will of MS, and prevent older OSes from working on newer hardware and software.

Time for my next complaint! Even Google can't seem to answer this one. This is another one that follows the mobile trend. I'm very much aware this "word", or abbreviation, has existed way before mobile technology really even became a thing. But for the love of God, why do people absolutely LOVE saying the word "app" so much? This is a word I feel like people get ultimate pleasure in saying, particularly out loud. Listen to just about anything anymore, "blah blah blah......and DOWNLOAD OUR APP!!!" Okay, I get it, you want people to download your free program because it makes your content better for them or something. But do you have to say it constantly, over and over again? I'm sorry, but the word isn't cool anymore. I never thought it was anyway, but now it's the most overused and abused word in technology. I think it's just one of those words though that people who know next to nothing about technology or how it works to sound hip. It's kind of like 4G LTE. I hear that all the time, even out of the mouths of regular people. Exactly how many people even know what LTE means or stands for? Probably nobody. But to get back to what I was originally talking about. Until smartphones became a thing, I almost never heard people call something an app. When referencing something on the computer, it was either an application, a program, or web browser, a word processor, well you get the idea. Things used to differ from each other. Games used to be games. Now everything is all consolidated into one term, app. Even Microsoft wasn't happy until they cashed in on that word. Programs was used for many, many years in Windows. But what happens once it moves into the mobile era? "That no longer works.....All Apps...yep, sounds good." So the too long, don't read version. I'm tired of that word, no it doesn't sound hip, and no, it doesn't make you sound like a tech professional. No wonder new technology is so boring now. Now I feel better!

Microsoft released new Insider build of Windows 10.... I have tested it , more craps are added with more bloatware.. When Microsoft will listen to its customer ? here their major improvements but where is performance improvements ... I am wondering how many days these things will go on. When Microsoft will wake up? We fixed an issue resulting in the Facebook Messenger app failing to accept the enter key when sending messaging in recent flights. We fixed an issue where the “New” text displayed under the names of newly installed apps in Start wouldn’t go away after launching the app. We fixed an issue where using the letters in Start to jump to different locations in the alphabet wasn’t consistently working in the last few flights. We fixed an issue where local app search in Cortana failed to return the expected app if the user profile directory contained non-ASCII characters. We fixed an issue where pressing WIN + X would sometimes not show the accelerator key underlines. We fixed an issue where when the People button was present in taskbar, and toast-only banners (for example from ******* 2016) were sent, the Action Center badge counter would become inaccurate. We fixed a bug from recent flights where upon unlock you’d be bombarded with any notifications that occurred while your PC was locked. If you’d like to review notifications received while your PC was locked, they can be found in the Action Center

When will Microsoft actually start listening to the people? Guess never, at this rate. Windows 10 is designed to be a dumbed down, cash cow for folks who just want the latest stuff and trust MS to keep things in check. Good luck with that!

MSFN is 16! Happy Birthday!

The love everyone has shown MSFN in the past week is outstanding and nothing short of remarkable! Thank you to everyone who continues to donate to keep us alive and online. It's very much appreciated by not only me, but by everyone who has a love for this place and all the members in it. A big thank you to you all!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came together to donate to MSFN and help keep us online. It's very much appreciated!

We are back . We are alive . We are MSFN Family . Special Thanks to XPER

A very happy New Year for y'all, folks!

Windows 10 is the most painful, most unpleasant, disturbing, upsetting, substance-lacking release of Windows ever.

Windows Server 2k8 x64 is running stable on Ryzen thus far; with third party pci-e devices for storage, usb & of course video. Drivers for sata is the default ahci drivers that come with windows; it's been working stable so far. Also, I have many devices and such disabled in BIOS; for instance SMT is disabled just in case. I'm currently logging everything i do or change to better understand the cause of a system failure if it arises. I'll update you all on further progress later on. "lol I'm currently using this system as I write this". PS: The reason I'm using Server 2008 Enterprise x64 is because windows vista enterprise x64 gave me blue screens before I could even log in; it was very random and would give me blue screens often and than sometimes not for a little awhile. I'm not 100% sure as to why Server 2008 is more stable on Ryzen since both Vista and Server 2008 are almost identical; for now all I can do is speculate.

Yay, MSFN is back.

EoS != EoL

Merry X-mas/Happy Hollidays to y'all!

Collecting Windows XP x64 Hotfixes to install them to my other XP computer

RIP Stan Lee. Without you , I haven't got marvel. You are true super hero who ever walked on the Earth

RIP Stan Lee! The world won't be the same without you!

RIP Paul Allen. In your time, MS did rock!

After 8 months I am online again here!

I think I've fixed the recent emoji invasion. Yeah!

I don't think I can ever tolerate Windows-as-a-Scam. It's too demeaning to the end user.

The current goal of $183 is almost reached. Just need $8 to meet the goal to keep MSFN online through at least 2018.

ARM-based laptops with Windows, again! The first attempt at ARM PCs, which ran on Windows RT, was an unmitigated disaster, and it left many users skeptical of the idea. But Microsoft hasn’t given up, especially as 5G starts to become a reality and cellular connectivity in PCs becomes essential. Microsoft announced that next year PCs will be available with Qualcomm’s ARM-based Snapdragon 835, which is primarily for smartphones. Super-thin laptops will get integrated modems and a long battery life with the chip. The ARM-based PCs will run Win32 applications that run on regular x86 PCs via emulation. For now, no PC maker has announced ARM-based Windows PCs—manufacturers may be cautious in light of the Windows RT fiasco. There are also many challenges. Snapdragon isn’t as fast as high-end x86 Intel or AMD chips, and won’t support 64-bit applications initially. Also, emulation may limit the ability to exploit hardware acceleration.

MSFN is $78 away from reaching its goal to continue keeping the site online! Keep it up!

Can I say that still Windows XP the best OS ever?

I agree with Tommy, haven't seen nothing original on the net in a long time. I'm tempted to leave the computer world altogether. Stuff gets boring after while.

Non-SSE2 machines are a lost game, already.

Hi Dibya I am here to support you and windows XP

Hope to get rebuilt system up and running in 2-3 weeks! As soon as I get my PC sorted, I will resume updating the UL's.

back on my W7 machine full time at least for the next week!

After two days of windows 8.1, the infamous Win 10 upgrade prompt finally shows its ugly head.

Still alive and well, Still alive and well, Every now and then I know it's kinda hard to tell But I'm still alive and well. Just checked in to see what condition my condition was in. Have a great weekend. Got a sound gig tomorrow.

Sorry for downtime. HDD crashed. Replaced HDD, restored backup and upgraded server to newest OS, PHP etc.

Shame on the age and on its lost principles!
