Another one from Jim Allchin:
A few weeks ago I wrote about the new sounds of Windows Vista and I made the point that sound is an important component of your experience using a Windows PC. As important as the new sounds are as an interface to the Windows UI, of equal importance is the system infrastructure that enables you to control and enjoy those sounds.
I personally use a Windows PC in three ways: 1) at work or at home for productivity, 2) at home (and when I travel) to enjoy media including music, videos and photos, and 3) at home in my recording studio (long story, but the short version is that my mom was glad when I got a real job with this computer science stuff). In all of these situations, having great control over the sounds on a Windows PC is important and prior to Windows Vista it was harder to do.
