Just listened to the sound clip of Vista’s new start up tune.

Some musicians spend 18 months working on a whole album. At Microsoft Corp., that’s how long it took to perfect just four seconds of sound.

Sounds like a droid malfunction to me. 18 months of Robert Fripp’s artistic vision and passion, only to be disemboweled by a Microsoft committee. Amen, Scoble. Amen.

Rob Bushway at Gottabemobile is being too nice saying:

It isn’t what I expected, but I actually like the start-up sound - it sounds fresh, perky, almost like a “new day”

It’s exactly what I expected: a waste of time, energy and money. I was exhaused after hearing the sound the first time. I don’t like the existing start-up sound either, so I’m not being an XP holdout. One of the first things I’ll be doing is disabling the Vista sound scheme. I don’t care for any of that sound clip noise while working. Nothing against sound scheme fans, but my speakers are for music, talk radio, anything really except for sound schemes. Hey, check this out, click on this and it makes a farting noise!

What do you think of the new Vista start-up sound? Do you have a custom sound scheme on your computer?

Did this post make you go hmm?
