- Yes, I just read about this in a magazine at work. I forget the name of
- the magazine but I think it was possibly _PC_Week_ Aug.??. Anyway, they
- basically said that Microsoft is planning on producing a Microsoft sound
- card to be used with their multimedia windows stuff. They said Microsoft
- will also be supporting sound cards such as the Soundblaster in the same
- package. Unfortunately I can not remember any more and I won't be able
- to view the magazine again for at least 3 weeks (unless they throw it
- away).
-
- No price was mentioned, and the expected release date was also not mentioned.
