Microsoft made a very big deal about it (at the time). They said they would
get some super-duper composer to handle sounds in Longhorn. I wrote a little
bit about it in:

| Microsoft employ a famous composer to work on sounds in Vista. Judging

| easier route and just go with Mozart?s Requiem. It may soon be "Hasta la
| Vista".

It's sad when an O/S needs to have a whole Hollywood-like cast to make a POS
look like something of value. As Elaine from Seinfeld said, "it's a
big-budget movie with a stroy that goes _nowhere_".
Best wishes,
