  1. Comment - Microsoft Details Vista's Media Features

    (Apr 25, 2006 - 9:07 AM)

    Oh, I forgot to add!

    Adding different outputs, great feature for power users, but very confusing for average and normal users.

    This is a great feature for pros, but for your average joe, it will only be confusing.

    And also, seperate applications have seperate volumes, oh is that something new? I thought most apps can still do this.

    A single universal setting is also good if you want to do things like mute all sounds etc. or limit all sounds. Why they removed this is beyond me. I have seen people confused by this in Linux, where this is the default.

    Maybe M$ can manage it usability wise, but it ain't worth it.

    Lastly, glitch resilience ? Another M$ gas bag, windows media player hangs on a slightly corrupted DVD, and they expect us to believe that processor priority improvement for media is the solution.

    Innovative my ass!

    Sorry to correct you, but this has been in Linux for ages, back in 1999.

    As far as windows itself is concerned. Creative Live! also offers the option.

    Last of all, Vista (and Linux too) have out of the box support of Intel Azalia HD Audio standard, which is the actual reason these things are now possible in windows also.

    Knowing the info, do you still call M$ innovative?

    This is their typical Embrace Extend and Extinguish.
