MS going to force Vista startup sound on users

--- Quote from: Dark_Me ---Besides taking choice away from the user it also means that in places or sitiations that require silence (librarys, early in the morning, etc) you cannot silence your laptop, or possibly your speakers don't have volume controls etc. Basically you cannot silence your computer when needed.

Haven't you people learned by now? Microsoft knows what's best for better than you know yourselves. Just who the hell do you think you are, questioning your betters like that?

--- Quote from: Orethrius ---I happen to agree with the guy that hopes somebody creates a worm or something that replaces the standard startup sound with a pig squealing. :D

LMFAO ! Why didn't I think of that. (or perhaps a sound track of pigs having sex)

What you refer to a startup sound on a Mac is actually a signal that your computer has passed its Power-On Self Test (POST).  Which is very useful on a Mac, since you don't see anything on the screen until the graphics system is loaded.  So really, the POST ding on a Mac is the Apple equivalent of those splash screens that run on a PC while the BIOS is being loaded.  Totally different way of handling the startup process, requiring totally different sensory clues.

The startup sound under discussion is something totally different.

hm_murdock:
Oh, I know.

Doesn't change the fact that MS has decided to use an unchangable noise at startup.
