General Software Discussion / Re: The End of Support for Windows XP Service Pack 1 and 1a

« Last post by lanux128 on April 11, 2007, 10:22 PM »

soon we will have to campaign to compel Microsoft to provide support for every single piece of software written by them.. kind of shows why proprietary software is slowly being shunned outside corporate circle..

* Windows 98 + ME *still* alive campaign

btw, MDGx maintains a terrific site here: MDGx MAX Speed WinDOwS Tricks + Secrets

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR v2.00.76 ALPHA PREVIEW Release - APRIL 9, 2007

« Last post by lanux128 on April 10, 2007, 08:43 PM »

good release, mouser.. anyway, i have another suggestion. how about incorporating an internal command or alias to quit Farr by typing something like this: @quit? this is because WinXP always hides the systray icon and i'm less inclined to use the mouse.

General Software Discussion / Re: To cut or not to cut - The lousy MS Office ribbon

« Last post by lanux128 on April 09, 2007, 09:53 PM »

i don't have Office2007 installed yet but i'm curious about the ribbon since there's been so much talk about it. my experience, the more i use it the more its usability shines.. ok, once in a while there will be moments like "where is that command?" but if you use pre-Office2007 keyboard shortcuts, there is a prompt that guides you into continuing the shortcut combo..

MrCrispy, do you have the link to the video tutorials?

General Software Discussion / DMEX Bar

« Last post by lanux128 on April 09, 2007, 09:35 PM »

did a quick search at DC but couldn't find it so posting this old favourite of mine.. DMEXBar 11, a toolbar extension for Windows explorer.

Features:
DMEXBar adds a new toolbar to the explorer with many new features like: Arrange explorer windows side by side, rename multiple files at once, quick change to favourite folders, quick create directory, split files, calculate directory size and some more...

but there is no website, the program is available at Simtel, so are new releases, the last update being on Nov. 2005..

over the weekend, i have been trying out Office2007 at a friend's laptop and the new fonts - Calibri, Cambria & etc. - looked quite cool with ClearType on.. so i was wondering where to get the "Calibri" font, is it available separately on Microsoft's website.. does anyone knows anything about its availability?
