Vista - Suggestion: Alarm clock

Suggestion: Alarm clock

I think it would be very helpful to add an "Alarm Clock" feature to the
calendar (if it's not already there, but I don't think I could have missed
it).

I have my computer on all the time, like most people. Also, I sleep at work
sometimes It would be fabulous to see an integrated alarm clock that
perhpaps uses WMP to play audio files of my selection.

Yes, I know, there are third party programs for this, but they are either
riddled with bugs or cost money.

RE: Suggestion: Alarm clock

longhorn 4xxx alpha releases had that feature in the calendar but as it
seems, in 5xxx releases it didn't get integrated any more. maybe towards
final release?
