Hmm, this has answers one of my deep question why can't microsoft make a stable OS. Well, it is very simple they put every thing and the kitchen sink into the OS it self probably right in to unprotected parts of kernel and then when apps or movies come out that use. 1/2 of windows boxes will freeze because not to much REAL world testing was done because nothing in the REAL world existed at the time to test it. When MicroSoft writes a program or makes a movie to test it. They known exactly how to test it. So when Joe Blow skips over the SDK Manuals and some Source Code and even if he reads everything twice. He doesn't Build it just right or uses it in a new and creative way that makes a cool hack. When it works (1/2 of the time). The more you put into a program or anything for that matter the harder it is to see and test how it will work in the real world.

One reason I feel the Linux Kernel is so stable is that it has taken quite a while to develop and in that time has had a lot of real world testing by Idiots, Geniuses and those in-between. This is an other reason why Win 95/98/ME (not sure about NT and 2000) has so many bugs is that it was develop with little REAL world testing. Sorry to go off subject.

know that with scrabbling the sound out of the sound card is just going to get a little filter like those for Block Buster Movies. But it would be more useful to a monitor, so tempisting would not work. but of course someone will just filter it and you probably need to do it at the hardware level.
