  1. I sure hope so! Also, I am here to say that I am returning to Windows Vista complete with a dual-boot of Windows 7. The reason I left it was because it could not read the full 4TB SSD. This problem is no more thanks to this tutorial: https://vinaypundith.github.io/windows_7_efi_guide/ Thanks to K4Sum1 over at Eclipse for digging this out. This should allow Windows Vista UEFI on newer UEFI devices like Sandy/Ivy Bridge, Haswell, etc (basically those processors that have Windows 8 and later support). You get safe mode and anything else that requires basic display as that is not removed and is left intact. This will also allow for Vista installation on Class3 UEFI devices such as the Acer Spin 5 where Legacy mode is unavailable. It also allows for 4TB or greater HDD/SSD's as well. All that is left to marry this setup together is Windows 7+ driver support and hopefully a fix for the Haswell+ issues. Regarding driver support, win32 told me at betawiki discord that he encountered some issues with getting it working and decided to put that on the back burner for now. Not sure what all is needed to get that working properly, but would be nice if someone with unsupported hardware could help out and see if they can help win32 get it working. @win32Not sure if you know about being able to use UEFI7 under Vista. I did so and it worked just fine.

  2. Dave-H, you can replace two files in the Firefox folder C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox mozavcodec.dll и mozavutil.dll These are old basilisk files they are suitable for Firefox 52. There is a H264 decoder, there is no need for a plugin "Primetime" and the CPU does not load heavily.

  3. I solved this issue. You can get Windows Vista working under UEFI (on devices that support Windows 8 and later such as Sandy/Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake, etc) using UEFI7. Just replace the Windows 7 ISO with the Windows Vista updated to 2017 eol ISO (if you are using that ISO). Details on how to do this can be found here: https://vinaypundith.github.io/windows_7_efi_guide/

  6. And it's needlessly huge on my 1080p monitor with 100% scaling. I never said to make it default, merely add an option.

  7. Congratz on the release! I upgraded my license right away and so far it works great Could StartAllBack eventually make the Address-bar and Search-bar more slim again like they were in the 19x builds of Windows 10?

  10. combine that with stupid peoples who blindly rely on driving assists and sensors. I had one near crash with Tesla roadster. Driver was likely on assisted driving mode since was tapping her phone and not touching wheel. She was behind yellow triangle meaning I had priority pass it first, but car pulled front of me. Was able to stop luckily before hit, but was too close call. Driver dropped her phone and went panic when I slammed horn to warn from impact. If you are so focused to your phone or anything else on car since rely on driver assists that you are scared when hear horn, you done something terribly wrong. Peoples have reached point where they blindly trust electronics since "computers never do mistakes unlike humans". Computers are coded by humans and contain human mistakes. I am not saying all are bad and useless, traction control and anti lock brakes are useful here on cold slippery winter and helped me few times when took off or braked too hard on ice, but I do not trust them blindly and understand they can malfunction. Humans are not perfect, but neither are machines. And human got something computer wont, ability to question learned things. Sometimes creativity is only way solve/survive things If their device would tell them jump off roof they likely would because computers cannot be wrong

  11. AGREED! I don't even own a phone! NONE! No land line, no cell phone, NOTHING! A very stress-free lifestyle! In the news a week or so ago, Facebook was under fire for internal office memos being discovered where Facebook is AWARE but DOES NOT CARE that their Instagram app is the direct cause of 1 in 3 teenage girls having MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES directly tied to them spending all their time on Instagram. My only comment at the time this "news" broke - NO DUH! But not only does Facebook (owner of Instagram) NOT CARE, but NEITHER DO PARENTS. Because they FALSELY think their child's SAFETY is all tied to them having access to a PHONE. BULLCRAP! 1 in 3 teenage girls with MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES all on account of SOCIAL MEDIA. But you think this is ONLY teenage girls? Look around at the ADULTS you see "tied to their phone" - you can't tell me you don't see glimpses of MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES among those ADULTS also. Don't get me wrong, I'm not undermining the importance of taking care of folks with mental health issues - quite the opposite in fact!

  12. Maybe a comparison between AntiVirus and vaccines: My Windows 98 machine runs well without. My body's own machine as well. Never change a running system? Works for me at least! @UCyborg: Maybe you have to consider going to another country, where your freedom is still being respected. It won't become a dystopia everywhere. Considering the topic of viruses and Windows 98, KernelEx not only enables some newer programs to run on Windows 98, it also enables some viruses to open themselves. That's to consider when testing viruses on Windows 98 computers. I only had a virus once on a Windows 98 computer when it still was a supported operating system by Microsoft, so around 2006. With an AntiVirus software installed! The reason is simple: I was a stupid schoolboy not knowing how to use the internet properly. My mistake, but a worthy experience too...
