    That is so awesome. I can't imagine all the work that must have gone into this.

    How many copyright violations per second did they max out at?

    Are there any copyright violations? They're not profiting from the work, or claiming ownership of the sounds. I guess Microsoft could get the piece banned from Youtube, but I doubt the company could collect damages. When you think about the millions of places these sounds have appeared...

    That song...was really good. I could see Microsoft buying the rights to that song for a...a convention or something.

    Easily the best video/song I've seen (heard) in years... But when are we going to see an album?

    not sure what program but it's a tracker, havent used one in many years but the closest one i know to that is modplug tracker, which is freeware.

    Very talented. I hope they make something off of this. Did anyone else hear a snare coming down to the end? I identified the rest of the sounds as being Windows XP/98 but the snare is tripping me up.

    the snare sound at the end is actually the windows minimize to taskbar sound but stretched and the pitch was modified.
