[gui-talk] Windows 7 and total loss of sound

[Jude DaShiell]

I stand by my earlier statement.  If windows had implemented true 
pre-emptive multitasking like so many other real operating systems have 
in the past this problem wouldn't even exist.  Audio to put it 
succinctly is a peripheral process so far as Microsoft is concerned and 
will remain so until this issue is correctly resolved.
