Great work on the remix, though, Pete. Especially that wind bubble at the end. It sounds a bit MArk-ish, but only because it's so high quality.
I actually found the dialog box to be very funny and original

I have not yet heard the remix but I shall get back to that.

Funny and original, perhaps. That was not my point. My point was that it looks nothing like a Vista dialog box. The font usage is atrocious.

Then why imitate it at all?

Why not create a more neutral dialog box that doesn't get in the way of the message? And, more to the point, isn't downright fugly?

I know, isn't it unbelievable! To think I gave inspiration to not only the [Crap] Fake Vista dialogue boxes, but also one of the most famous Sci-Fi classic films of all time.

Damn I'm good. *humps air*
