Sounds Of Windows VistaApparently it took them a ton of time to get the sounds just right for the upcoming Windows Vista (18 months on the start up sound alone). Here's a video comparing the sounds from Windows XP to Vista. Posted by Jake on 11/15/06 @ 09:43 PM

Alot more suttle as the Windows XP sounds are mostly really annoying- Dan said on 11/17/06 @ 03:20 PM: The best part about the startup sound is that is was done by Robert Fripp of King Crimson. The sound is good, but would have been better if it sounded like Elephant Talk (a great KC song). chandu said on 11/24/06 @ 04:53 AM: mmm...I think I like Xp's sounds than Vistas and wonder why they are going back with the ringing sound...xp's sound is the new phone's and vista's is the old phone's, may be Old is Gold.
