Vista not (yet) hot topic at music fair

| Otherwise, there was not much hype about Vista. The change in the model
| for drivers entails some major modifications, especially for the
| 64-bit version; in addition, vendors say that they find a whole
| array of details to be a nuisance, such as having to change the
| sampling rate for each audio channel individually in the new Sound
| Control panel. And all of the musicians using PCs said that there
| was no need to switch to Vista. After all, most of them do not run
| their production computers on the Internet anyway and would
| therefore not benefit from all of the security features that
| Vista allegedly offers.

| Ten years ago I would have said it was impossible. But back then

| long, and that's just counting the open source projects on
| SourceForge. There are countless open standards, countless new
| and better ways to mash up all kinds of stuff, thanks to Web
| services, open APIs and Lego-like approaches to putting code
| and practices together in useful ways.
