Comments on: Mandatory Startup Sound in Vista http://www.computerdefense.org/2006/09/mandatory-startup-sound-in-vista/ Sharing my thoughts with the world.

Why do they have to do this? There's no specific reason. I disable all system sounds in XP, but I won't be able to do so in Vista - I guess that's just another reason why I won't be buying Vista until I have to (for games). But, hopefully, by then, game developers will be porting their games to work on Linux. I guess a workaround would be to replace the .wav, .mp3 or .whatever sound file that Windows uses, or to just delete it altogether... Unless I am missing something, and M$ have designed it so that the file cannot be modified or deleted? How ridiculous. This is sad, idiotic, and annoying. Why do they have to do this?
