I forgot to say thanks for the link. I knew about the sounds already but that blog gave me like hours of happy surfing. Cheers.

Yeah, I saw a video of the Vista sound stuff a while ago, but I can't remember who it was... he was playing guitar over some very ambient loops.

Lets hope the new Vista sound doesn't get dropped from the OS and backported to other operating systems..... or do I mean get the OS delayed? Hell if I know anymore. Ahhh well at least they released the wonderful XBOX 360 in a reasonable amount of time Very Happy

Mr. Fripp is a bit too long-haired-prog-rocker for my general liking, but he did get some notes in on FSOL's Lifeforms album, and played live with them a couple times.

Y'know I couldn't get the November? release to work 100% on my PC so now I'm debating on downloading the December version or wait until February.

I think the Feb/Mar CTP is the one to wait for. A coworker of mine installed the December one and wasn't too impressed. Feb/Mar will be much closer to the final product, or so they say.
