I am working hard on the 7.5.1 release of MCB. Same style, but new stuff and better organized.
Biggest change until now is that the menu is not used to click to the builds (takes a lot of space on the screens when you have a smaller screen), but you click the ''Windows Section'' link and you choose from there. Better for smaller screens also and the offline version is then ready for download.
Currently it is in private test mode until completed.

I seems that tonynoname's post is also gone but here was the question and answer (roughly):
Tonynoname: Publish it in any other form then .pdf, like HTML or an HTML Pack. Rob Jansen: No, I have my reasons to only publish it as a .pdf file and not as .HTML or as .HTML Pack.
Not sure why the post was removed before I could see a response, but I understand, I can probably read it in a vm of xp with stable chrome, but it's definitely not convenient. Plus it requires server side scripting so an .html offline version would be harder to make.

Server Maintenance The Server where Microsoft Collection Book is placed is undergoing maintanance, so the Microsoft Collection Book will not be available for some hours in the coming weeks. Please beware of this outage.
Uh yeah... All the keys provided on that site are beta keys and will not work in retail versions of windows, nor will they activate any beta version of Windows since the activation servers for those builds were shut down long ago.

Why, when you can download everything on that site from BA or other sites?
So Microsoft Collection Book is only for BA users...
No, it isn't. You can get server access if you can get 10 posts or higher in the forum. But there are only 26 people in the forum. What's more, only 5 of them had server access. So, their servers are actually crap.

No, it isn't.
Thats my point. They should have links for people who are not a member of a good forum like BA, for people who might find the site via Google etc.
P.S. There is NO server on it. Accept the truth.....

He's no longer here because of our "problems" with hate (I never saw any of it, and the mods do their job quite well) and trolling, which I really disagree on, as this is one of the most cleanest (in my opinion) places on the net from trolls and hate, but I guess some people just cant possibly deal with a minor degree of it, so what can ya do.

I really don't see the point in offering downloads, because:
1. It takes time and bandwith to upload 2. It consumes a lot of storage space 3. 75% of what's on BA is also available on the internet absolutely FREE 4. If you care about the other 25% you can come here, learn something new and contribute
Of course if it's too hard for you people to make 10 [censored] useful posts then I guess it's no point in continuing this discussion.

Yeah, I agree. Shouldn't have been that picky to leave, IMO.

I think I am not allowed to talk in this thread anymore, since Rob Jansen PMed me in the Microsoft Collection Books Forums and send a note about insult to his website. Um...

Maybe because you said his servers are crap? He is kinda sensitive about that... And that's actually not a bad thing at all.
