Ok.  We can TITTTL now.  Follow-ups set to Cygwin Talk List.

Anyways I can safely say that Vista isn't the "little brother" of Vista.
 *ducks*

I tested Vista before it got released in their internal tech beta.  It
won't have that short life cycle.  However for those of you that are
waiting for SP1 then it should be out by years end.  That is being
expected.  On the other hand the driver support from 3rd party
manufacturers is lacking right now.

A co-worker brought in their laptop and their sound wasn't working.  I
took a look at it.  The drivers appeared to be loaded properly and it
was definately trying (the sound meter in the sound control panel
updated) but nothing was coming out of the speakers or headphones.  I
honestly didn't know if I should blame the drivers, the sound card, or
the speakers.
