From the nested quote that the forum software left out: 25% of users install an app and only use it once. I wonder, what percentage of those users are doing so not because they don't like the app, but because another app gave them incentive to try it? I personally use very few apps on my phone, but one of them has microtransactions. The in-game currency is coins. You can get these coins by signing in every day, winning contests, buying them, watching ads or trying some other app. I doubt that this is uncommon. So I wonder how many people are just doing the bare minimum required (it varies) in order to get the coins or whatever they need for the game they are playing.

I am not familiar with this program. What is the name of it exactly?

I had forgotten that LinkedIn had stocks.

MS has been using third (second?) parties to manage surveys for years.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I've never used it, but is Classic Shell an actual shell? Because the OS, we know, is the underlying portion that you boot and in Windows, Explorer.exe is the shell.

Disk 0 could very well be a card reader. On some systems, card reader without media inserted can sometimes be detected and sometimes even get a drive letter. Often times I see card reader showing up, it will have the same size numbers as the USB key I use to boot.

I have included vcredist (or other type redist) into an image before, but only if they were needed for other software I had to install.

There are worse MS forums. I had received an email relating to a "new" Partner forum for me to check out. It wasn't new, threads went back 4 months. All the threads were posted and answered by the forum moderator. Pre-created threads with self-answered questions.

ISO for what?

IN dispart, do select disk 0. Then detail disk. Then for disk 1. Since we are not there, we should be able to see exactly what disk 0 and disk 1 is.

The incorrect size SP1 appears because the OS is missing a pre-requisite. What that kb is, I have only determined by process of elimination. In other words, it is too much work for me to bother with, because the update that makes it go away can be different.

News for these types of things are usually responsible. I think for the past few major "finds" as they are called (this one is known as The Texas Find) have not shown up on news websites until after the cards have been acquired by a third party or auction house. I'm not sure how big of news story it would be if it was to be found out he had a large collection when he was alive. Many people have collections of this size, either publicly or privately. So when this news broke, it was just "kind of neat" but not really newsworthy to me. In fact, the Daily Mail article is only really writing about the fact that the items are currently up for auction. There is nothing special about the collection itself, other than the whole chance meeting being a feel good story.

Games usually will install the ones they need by themselves. It really depends on the application, whether both are needed or not.

As up and up today and "now now now" that the internet news cycle is, we still have these instances where a news story doesn't show up for a couple of months for whatever reason. https://lotgauctions.wordpress.com/2016/03/13/an-incredible-find/

I have not seen that movie in a long time. I had no idea.

Windows2000User is now LightAlpha263

End of support/life date doesn't mean anything to me. I still run Windows 98 and XP computers personally. End of sale means that my day-to-day work with the OS is going to stop. Windows 7 will go away for me, work-wise, in around 6 months or so unless something changes.

There is a way but it takes you off the index. Below the status update text ( or truncated if too long) is a timestamp. If you click that then it will take you to the full status update on the user's profile page. submix8c Way past Beer:30... Saturday at 6:33 PM · 0 replies <--- click the date/time part If you click that timestamp it will take you to the user profile showing the full status update. There doesn't seem to be a way to expand the update on the index part and remain on the forum index.

Too little too late. Windows 7 goes end of sale in less than a month, and oh MS finally gives people what they've been asking for for years.

It is really just another case of being like Mac:

Wouldn't it make more sense to make a wrapper for these functions instead of trying to modify kernel32 directly? Let us say that one day, @Dibya (or someone else) makes these required changes and XP will become more open. The problem then is that it is illegal to redistribute a Windows OS file. The only way you could release such a thing would be to either create a wrapper, or a program that patches the required changes for a user, or to provide exact instructions on how to do it.

Update: @submix8c is still a Gold Patron. And I can see the Patron group also, I must have missed it before (it is a different color to me). I think it was previously set up in levels, where your contibution amount would set which group you would be in. We will wait to find out if this is due to one of the original tier groups having been renamed in an update, which might be what happened.

I split this to a new thread. I can confirm that the member group previously called Sponsor is now called Subscriber. Also, the levels of Sponsor group are gone as well. The amount of members in the current 'Subscriber' group does not appear to be correct. If you know anyone who was a Sponsor previously and now has a regular member group title previously, post it in this thread.
