Windows Vista

.
The new version of Windows, due out this year, will probably have new sounds, too.

Robert Fripp was at Microsoft recently.He's in the band King Crimson.

Bob was there recording the various sounds for Windows Vista, for those who keep their computer speakers turned on. Check it out.

We used to live in Chula Vista, Ca. They told us it means "Beautiful View." Put it through a web translator and it comes out Insolent Vista. So will Windows be beautiful, insolent or, as usual, just arrogant?

    This place has better cuts of Fripp's music - they play better than the MSN site. http://www.elephant-talk.com/

    They can put new sounds on it if they want to; I just hope it won't need 17,000 security patches in the first month!

    Judy, that's a good point.

    If it does, we can call it Windows Recap, in honor of all of the truck tires which have been "patched" and which blow up all over the highways!
