Oh dear. Although I have great respect for Mr Fripp I've heard the same stuff on relaxation tapes. Come on guys get a grip. It's a poor video -  why wasn't it "treated" before posting so I didn't have to mess up my settings just to see it?

Someone said it all sounded the same but just slighly different and the reply was that's the idea of a theme. NO IT ISN'T! The idea of a theme is to be instantly recognisable and be able to associate it with the product/show. This sounds like a million other ambient sounds.

Waste of money and time afaic.

The use of ascending combinations in D & E major and augmented chords with backing keyboards, the Fripp scheme makes great baby don’t cry nursery atmosphere. Plus it would root 0 to 2 year olds to develop life long appetite for Microsoft Products....  but Fripps scheme will get old after a week for most of us….  So here are the better suggestions for the masses….. Dear Microsoft,  The importance of sound schemes and VISTA’s value would increase if more energetic schemes featuring Eddie Van and Alex Van Halen were included.   Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page including Jon Bonham with a Thunder of Drums would be a remarkable scheme and make VISTA penetrate global software market like the Xbox 360 does now.  Even Cadillac marketers found out where the money and prestige is, but VISTA could take it to the next level. Microsoft you could build in some animated mouse over effects with the extroverted stage mannerisms of legendary guitarist Angus Young to definitely make Vista the most desirable for the mass market appeal.  If necessary, users could pay a small premium on that scheme to entice AC/DC cooperation for starters since Media Center edition is going to become rolled into VISTA it is a natural. Microsoft, let me suggest you take the following approach with AC/DC, you will have to tie this VISTA sound scheme effort as a tease for the AC/DC 2006/7 world tour and new release double album release they are recording with Mutt Lang in Vancouver.  But use a UK Microsoft marketing executive who lives a proper pub life over in North London to initially get this connected.   

I can't wait to see what the final product sounds like!
