Please, dear God, tell me this is a joke ... it must be a joke ...

I watched the whole video. I am unclean.

I'm taking every bit of what comes from you with a pinch of salt from now on.

Video doesn't load so far but the description sounds nice.
And something else I noticed, the video is available in .mov format as well, but it doesn't seem to load any faster.

As well you should, but it looks like this is for real. Yikes! Gadzooks! Balderdash!

The video is ... scary. Truly terrifying.

I've watched the video.

Microsoft's promotion department is still living their 80's.

This could be one of the signs of the end times. With this tool, boy bands across the world can generate background music for their songs, without the tryouts, financial support, and musical expertise of the recording industry. The resulting glut of low production pop music will be devastating.

AWESOME!

I just saw the video and apart from the somewhat disturbing thing that I thought .mov was apple Quicktime and it played in WMP it was absolutely great!
I absolutely want that now and I hope I can get one of those nice green Microsoft coffee cups together with it.

Expect some cool songs from me soon.
