Hi Philip, The transition issue isn't something that affects actual playability, but I'm getting pops between speech clips that are particularly noticeable when speech files are playing on their own to announce levels and points and the like. The only thing I can liken it too is that I've heard similar things occur when I've placed two sounds to play one after the other in various audio sinarios if both have been meticulously topped and tailed without any sort of crossfade between them. At a guess that's what's happening here, because it doesn't seem to be netbook specific (it happens on a much higher spec laptop with a different sound chipset that I also have activated Q9 on).
Not a biggy, but I hope that helps you identify whether the problem is happening at your end too. 1.0.1 seems slightly snappier to me, but it's a marginal difference. I haven't played through any further than the end of the Jungle world on the netbook, but up until that point it seems playable here so long as you don't have too many other tasks fighting it for resources.
