To be fair they probably only supported xp as long as they did because vista was a huge trainwreck and there was a lot of pushback against adoption of it, especially by enterprise customers.
People keep saying things about "why are they killing Windows 7, there is no reason" and I think there is some missing technical details that explain some of these decisions. In order to build a windows executable, you use one of a number of software development kits (SDK) from Microsoft. Before Windows 7, DirectX was…
I noticed those hats and I turned to my friend and said "why are they wearing Gestapo uniforms". Then again, I think it is intentional to play into the 'military vs exploration' plotline, which honestly is something I really wish that STO would have more acknowledgements to. I left the theatre kind of disappointed, but…
The jump in queue position is a visual error. They had this problem in Neverwinter the first day it went into open beta. The lower number (when it displays) is correct.
I think your feedback is good (especially those filters being "...", yeesh), but keep in mind that the game is in multiple languages, so having something go to exactly as long as it is in English may not be feasible. Something to keep in mind. The buttons on the right side seem like they are the same size, but they look a…
You guys realize a new Star Trek movie is coming out right? They're trying to polish up the game to make it more appealing for new users. Some good tweaks to the UI went up on Tribble today.
Wow, I really love the new UI. It could possibly be slimmed down in some places (there is a bit too much border on the edge of the chat box, etc, but overall it feels so much more Trek to me.
I think honestly what needs to happen to STO in 2013 is that the entire "this is the path from 1 to 50 like mmos are played" needs to change. Just make content and have it scale or whatever, make it so it follows a story like it does now but just try to unhook everything so you just go out and do stuff. Make it all…
If you are saying that you won't add a Romulan faction and that you also are not really planning to add more Klingon content and are planning to just continue with the plan of "oh well we'll shoehorn it so both factions can do the same content even though it doesn't make sense", than why did you include these options in…
is it additionally intended that DOFFs you purchase from the DOFF rewards vendor (the lt on ESD) can not be donated? Because I was trying to use a green trader and it wouldn't let me use the one that I bought with Dil from there.
So a lot of the questions are answered with answers like 'well, this isn't really working, we aren't going to be able to do this' and 'yeah that's a long way off'. I have to say, thank you for this. I always liked the engineering reports and all the optimism about what is coming but I would rather hear "you know, merging…
I went to go link earlier and realized that I never reset my password and/or tried to log in since that hack announcement went out like 3 months ago. I assume CPoints are going away since we can no longer buy them. CPoints are also no longer shown in the account pages. Are we going to start getting Zen now? Or is the…
