Tokash amazed by per-app audio (and FeedLounge)

The evening started out skeptical enough. John Tokash, director of software development at Homestead Technologies, wrote me with a list of troubles he’s having with Windows Vista. He also wrote me some of the things he liked and asked “what else is there?” I gave him a short list, one of which included per-application audio settings. He went nuts!

I just realized that the power of my evangelism is simply journalistic work. I go around to the teams and ask them what they are doing, they tell me, and then when people ask me what’s cool in Windows Vista, I just tell them. Long way of saying that I hung out for an hour with Steve Ball and Larry Osterman and a few others and got the skinny on per-app audio.

Oh, and John isn’t just raving about Vista, he got a look at FeedLounge, a new RSS aggregator that’s launching on Monday, and he says it’s worth a look.

  1. Robert,
    Is there a problem in Vista with USB headphones that you know of? My Logitech USB headphones worked in the last CTP but don’t in the latest, and Yahoo Widgets (aka Konfabulator), love ’em, won’t install in latest CTP, Yahoo is no help.

    Thanks,
    Chris

  3. Chris, I couldn’t get konfabulator to install either, so I tried the app at http://www.desktopsidebar.com. I’d never heard of it before, but it’s pretty cool – I’ve been running it for 3 or 4 days now.

    Of course, I’d prefer the Vista sidebar, but I’m not sure when that’ll be available on the CTPs(Vista Community Tech Previews).
