So now I am a bit confused . So Microsoft writes the OS based on others hardware and that is a difficult task? I thought companies write their own drivers and are force to abide by the rules of the M$ OS of the day, hence different drivers for different OS's. For the luxury of playing by the rules I thought that they were required to pay M$ a fee to certify their drivers. I thought that M$ now requires a safe mode restart if the hardware manufacture decides they do not want to pay that fee. I guess then M$ pays the hardware manufactures a fee to store the drivers for their hardware on the manufactures site. Anthem is word class multimedia and the ARC software is second to none. Written for the windows XP OS by the national research council of Canada and based on USB input. Does it work in windows 8? Poor, poor M$. Regards
Which is why they all come back here moaning about IE and icons. On one is 'Forced' to do anything, If a hardware maker wants to have a 'Compatible with Windows X' sticker on their box the driver has to be certified by Microsoft. Which they pay for and I believe it also means those drivers are added to the Windows driver pool that's installed with Windows. Clear evidence of this came with Vista, where the driver design changed, mainly dew to the switch to x64. Most hardware makers refused to modify their XP drivers to work with Vista, instead opting to only produce Vista drivers for new products 'Forcing' their and Microsoft's customers to buy new hardware. And the reason that most hardware makers have lots of drivers listed for each OS on their websites is down to the lack of knowledge of most PC users. If you grab any of the x86 drivers and check the hash's you'll see most are the same. That goes for different x86 OS's and hardware products. Its the same for the x64 drivers.
^^^^ Agreed and it was a bit tongue and cheek, if you want the average person to use your hardware there is no force at all. Regards
No, if anything it was because they don't feel it fits in with the context of the UI direction in win 10. But either way it has nothing to do with the driver, it's perfectly capable of doing it, and I'm sure Bigmuscle will prove that.
No need to use the future, I'm using aeroglass on 10051 and it works perfectly. Exactly like the native aeroglass works perfectly on (officially) unsupported HW like the 100$ netbooks from the latest 5/6 years. The truth is that the removal of AG has nothing to do with performances, they removed it for (highly debatable) aesthetic reasons, when they tough the windows users were sheep like the Apple's one. When they tough anyone will stick with whatever idiotic novelty imposed from the high level. They proved to be wrong, and they are stepping back. Likely they will realize that the aero thing was an idiotic move too.
I wish people would stop bitching about aero and trash icons in these threads it's boring! If Microsoft choose not to use aero then it's up to them, no amount of complaining over here will sort that out, there is nothing "idiotic" about it. I'm sure when it's finished there will be a utility to use aero in some form or another, and if there isn't...so what! The trash icon thing is a non issue. Give it a rest
Pretty easy then, just don't read those messages. Oh yes, up to them, like is UP to a cook to put some mayonnaise on top of a strawberry cake. But then don't expect restaurant's client to eat it silently. Every time a company in a strong position is unable to please the majority of its clients. is doing an idiotic move. MS included. Who designs an icon has ONE thing to do: to design a tiny image that is meaning, easy to understand and nice looking. If a person or a team paid to do it, are unable to do the job, people complains. Exactly like happen everywhere for any unsatisfying product or service. What's wrong with that?
