    is your old acc deleted already? If so then I'm not positive if they can take it out of the bin again but I know for sure that account name can be changed in vBull

    Maybe, it's worth a shot!
    As far as I know Zac doesn't run any forum...

    Ah, oh well. Doesn't matter anyway. I'm not really bothered.

    Anyway guys, I don't think the mods are gonna like the fact we've all come off-topic. Let's get back to the Threshold, shall we?

    There's no harm in trying ;)
    It was a very forum specific question, so... :biggrin:

    Well if you must know, a content management system (CMS) is somewhat different from the likes of vBulletin, IP.Board and more. With Drupal CMS, you cannot undelete a deleted account. Since Drupal is not forum software, I wouldn't know whether forums can undelete accounts.

    CMS and Forum software are different.

    Oh for God's sake, please don't turn this into another pointless discussion! Like Zac said, let's get back to Threshold.

    btw, Neowin forums allows you to change display name.

    This is true, however since MDL didn't have the option in the User CP, I only assumed it wasn't allowed.

    In Windows 8.x long pressing Start button doesn't do anything.

    In Windows 9 though... :D

    I've heard some rumors that the most expensive Windows 9 edition will allow completely disable ModernUI. Is it right?
    Well I was wondering to format or not to format, to install 7 or wait to 12 of August for updated Win 8.1. I decided to stay with win7. Nothing new if I say I don't need ModernUI at all on my desktop. It doesn't provide any better functionality, it's rather annoying and looks like coloring book for little children.
    Since Win95 GUI ideas didn't change much. Desktop icons, taskbar, start button, time etc. Those things were improved in all Windows up to 7. With windows 8+ MS tries to discover a wheel once again.

    I'm gonna wait what Win9 will show

    It's not about more/less expensive, it's all about hardware. The 'desktop/laptop' edition will have a desktop with a start menu and windowed ModernUI apps, the 'full tablet' version will have both desktop and ModernUI and the RT edition will have ModernUI only.
    When buying a new PC/Tablet it all depends on what the OEM chooses to put on it.
    I have no idea if you can actually choose between these different editions when you install Windows Threshold yourself, but there will certainly be a way to turn ModernUI 'off'.

    But according to FaiKee :rolleyes: Threshold has been cancelled. So what you're saying can't be possible
