@mathews: what are you talking about? MS has TONS of (good) free stuff for anyone to download! Just look at what they did with WorldWide Telescope or PhotoSynth…

@jj: this IS being developed!

I wish it could play more than one chord style. Can’t there be a check box for like broken chords or whatever? And how about more than one instrument?

It would be cool if properly developed…

Knowing microsoft it will probably be a paid one. They might pack it with the new version of windows or something.

Just imagine if they took this, ramped up the quality of the piano played and maybe even added some more instruments to it, and maybe some percussion, then – and here is the big thing – put it into Lips for the xbox 360. I can imagine crazy evenings of fun making music. Wii music and singstar can’t hold a candle to how popular that would be. So now Microsoft…make it happen! (ok, I understand Lips will be released pretty soon, so it is too late, but how about adding it later as a DLC you pay for. And then make it standard in Lips 2).

I think it’s pretty ridiculous. The background music was basically the same in all songs. How pathetic!

Maybe they’ll make it a Windows Vista Ultimate Extra. Oh wait, that’s NOT gonna happen.

This is an example of a research project that needs to be productized. Maybe it will make it into Windows Live Movie Maker?
