Just in case the guide says "Fan Stopped working go do stuff" when the problem you really had was "Kernel error <detail> <Detail>" or something.

So I noticed this thing on Microsoft's new IE9 promotional site - [url]http://browseryoulovedtohate.com[/url] [img]http://static.tumblr.com/qpiyfom/DYIm0ugx4/sitepinning.png[/img] Looks kinda neat in my opinion. [editline]16th March 2012[/editline] Of course, it is not really related to Windows 8, but I like this metro-ish superbar.

Congratulations.
What did they do to windows server? I like the speed but holy shit they fuck clustered it all half assed. UI wise I like how it is incorporating alot of virtualization techniques, like being able to install $print server into a VHD instead of on the same DC

Click the Start Button and the taskbar would sweep across the whole screen bringing the Start Screen with it.

[QUOTE=Raijin;35158912]Got my first BSOD today. Scared the bejezus out of me because I was listening to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfEhQsRnesQ]this song[/url] and it froze at the drop at 0:47. Sound kept repeating the last .1 second or so from that portion then finally ":(".[/QUOTE] Skrillex remixed that song and made it really different. Its good if you like dubstep.
[QUOTE=sdwise;35169257]Skrillex remixed that song and made it really different. Its good if you like dubstep.[/QUOTE] I guess the remix is about as good Windows', then.
[QUOTE=sdwise;35169257]Skrillex remixed that song and made it really different. Its good if you like dubstep.[/QUOTE] Not particularly a fan of Skrillex, he wastes his talent on the same samples and patterns over and over. Some of his first songs are pretty unique though.

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DbgiOCTQts"][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DbgiOCTQts[/URL][/media] Glad to see Microsoft knowing where they went wrong :v: but seriously, they seem to have learnt that IE6-8 was a disaster and it was only good for "installing another browser", I might use IE9 in the future but for now chrome works okay.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;35177249]I might use IE9 in the future but for now chrome works okay.[/QUOTE] If you do want to try a newer IE later on, I'd recommend waiting for 10.
[QUOTE=Panda X;35177421]If you do want to try a newer IE later on, I'd recommend waiting for 10.[/QUOTE] I'm on the CP so I have IE10 by default, I'm gonna wait for 10 because hopefully they've put some cool additions into it (like removing toolbars for good, I can hope).

Looks nice, might buy it.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;35179587]IE10 is awesome, they've went a long way since IE6, I am actually using IE10 mainly on my tablet for browsing the web, even though I can't post on facepunch with it on touch mode[/QUOTE] I agree, IE10 kicks some serious ass.

Nope. IE is, was, and always will be, horrible. Why? Because it uses Trident as it's engine. Wake me up if they ever incorporate Webkit.
I broke Windows to such a degree that I have a transparent Windows Classic theme: [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/cMDS25.png[/IMG] [editline]17th March 2012[/editline] It also gave the taskbar a drop shadow which looks pretty nice.

If anything Microsoft could be back in the market because IE now has some impressive features to win over a chrome user like me.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;35180107]Also here's why I can't post on my tablet [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZTmOihrlSY[/media][/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxRxB5uRkdk[/media] Found a really dumb way to get around that issue. I'm not really sure why it works that way but it does. :v:
Ctrl + Shift + Right click on the taskbar.
