MS going to force Vista startup sound on users

<< < (2/6) > >>

Calum:
am i missing something? you just delete "The Microsoft Sound.wav" don't you? are we seriously proposing that the owners of a software system actually cannot decide what to do with the files that make up that system? if i pay money for a system (or if i don't, as is the case with fedora, my current OS), then i expect to have administrative rights on it, otherwise how can i maximise disk space, file my files, install and configure software and scripts etc? i can't imagine being the owner of a system and not being able to delete a file in that system when logged on as root. is this really what microsoft is selling to people? and they will buy it?

Orethrius:
Palladium is appealing where marketing techniques succeed.
Nevermind that it's the single closest thing to the Apocalypse as our systems will ever experience.

piratePenguin:
That'll be another reason Windows sucks, and it'll be one of those appealing things other operating systems will have ("Come on, give Ubuntu a try. You can even turn off the startup sounds in it!!").

Aloone_Jonez:
If you delete the .wav file it'll probably reappear. I Don't see why they have done this, it seems a bit stupid to me. I hope it doesn't get installed on my work's PC, if so I'll build a little device to disconnect the speakers for X number of seconda from turning the power on to the PC.

 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
