The Register heeft een blurb neergekwakt over Windows Millennium Edition waarin ze de goede kanten van dit OS even belichten. Ze zijn o.a. tevreden met het snelle boot- en afsluitproces, het Win2000 kleurenschema, IE5.5 en de System Restore optie. WinME wordt nog steeds 14 september officieel in de winkels verwacht.
The adoption of the much slicker GUI from Windows 2000 is a welcome improvement, adding such delights as cascading menus for control panel, printers, my documents etc.
An undocumented but extremely useful feature is the ability to drag any disk, or the My Computer icon, onto the start button. This provides a cascading menu for the entire contents of the disk, making finding a file considerably faster than opening loads of separate folders.
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express 5.5 are included, IE5.5 finally getting a decent print engine featuring print preview. Of course, you can already download both of these for free should you feel so inclined.
The revamped media player 7 is a pretty good stab at an all-singing, all-dancing MP3 player with better usability than most of the competition.
It works with most standard audio and video formats, (but not RealMedia), and features a Web radio tuner, a jukebox, and a file transfer utility to copy and compress files or streaming media to portable MP3 players and Windows CE devices.
Thanks freezerburn voor het sturen van de link.
