So not only is he selling out, he's selling to the enemy. Way to go, Fripp. :P

Actually, to kind of clear that up -
Fripp is doing the windows sounds after being invited by Steve Ball, a big design dude at Microsoft. Steve Ball is a graduate of Fripp's "Guitar Craft" seminar, and participated in a bunch of his projects including The League of Crafty Guitarists.
Fripp also followed the footsteps of his old friend and music partner Brian Eno, who did the sounds for Windows 95 in the same way.

That said, noone is denying that financial incentive got him to do it. But what you can't say, after watching that session, is the Fripp isn't just doing his normal out-there soundscaping stuff - selling out would be if he started playing for Blink 182 or something :roll:

lol, I'm just kidding anyway. This in no way lessens my respect for the man.

Of course he's selling out. When was the last time anyone shelled out money to hear 21st Century Schizoid Man?

So he's conforming to the products of a company which makes millions by selling locked down and restricted art?

Well, when speaking of Fripp and conformity, I would rather someone had brought this up instead:

If windows has to have little bleeps and things then it might as well be created by Fripp.
