Microsoft Monaco

Interesting. Looks like Microsoft will come out with their version of GarageBand.

"Microsoft is still pushing full-steam-ahead with a music-making program, code-named "Monaco," according to Microsoft partners who requested anonymity. Monaco would be very similar to Apple's GarageBand application, but would be optimized to take advantage of Windows Vista and the Aero user interface."

  1. Are they *really* calling their interface "Aero"..?

    You can see their product people going "look, Apple's interface is called Aqua, so we need a four letter name beginning with "A" but with an "air" theme instead of water"...

  2. it's aero because apple was 'aqua'. it's all a battle of the ~~ElEmEnTaL LoRdS~~.

    FreeBSD has the devil logo, which represents Fire. I'm not sure what is earth.

    Anyway, 'Aero' is a great name, since most of its planned features have vaporized into the ether.
