Syntax_Error Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 MS05-18 is what updated the kernel to 5.1.2600.2622 and must have changed the Windows version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Very cool, but the first picture says "An Historical Perspective." Microsoft couldn't drop a little money on someone with 2nd grade English skills? 585829057[/snapback] That is proper english. "an" goes before a vowel in the following word, or a silent letter and a vowel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trance Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Actually.. that is proper grammer... You use "an" in front of a word that begins with a vowel, or H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax_Error Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Anyone else notice microsoft.com is sort of broken in IE in those screenshots :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewingum Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I have a few questions...is MediaMania going to be inlcuded with LH? (Doubt it.)Also... That Windows Media Player shot...is it from a portable device? Or just a skin? 585829029[/snapback] It is what they call "auxiliary displays". When you want to do something with your tablet pc or notebook you have to turn it on, wait for it to finish booting and only then you can check your calendar/e-mail/whatever. Auxiliary display should solve this problem by introducing an always-on interface - the one you see in the picture. In his keynote, Bill Gates browsed through the different features of this interface, one of them is the Media Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthemeX Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Anyone else notice microsoft.com is sort of broken in IE in those screenshots :) 585829085[/snapback] Yep.. actually that's not an image but a functionality in IE that creates a fade.

BigCheese Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 That is proper english. "an" goes before a vowel in the following word, or a silent letter and a vowel. 585829079[/snapback] The "H" isn't silent. Its not proper grammar. EDIT: his?tor?ic ( P ) Pronunciation Key (h-st?rk, -str-)adj. Having importance in or influence on history. Historical. Usage Note: Historic and historical have different usages, though their senses overlap. Historic refers to what is important in history: the historic first voyage to the moon. It is also used of what is famous or interesting because of its association with persons or events in histora historic house/b>. Historical refers to whatever existed in the past, whether regarded as important or not: a minor historical character. Historical also refers to anything concerned with history or the study of the pasa historical novel/b>; historical discoveries. While these distinctions are useful, these words are often used interchangeably, as in historic times or historical times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
