Sound packs

[Neal]

Now that I have almost everything working with Vista there is one thing that
has bugged me from the start and that is the sound pack. I just do not know
why it is the same as XP. I am just trying to find a new sound pack. I am
just wondering if MS has anything for us yet.

Thanks

Hello,

Windows Vista will have brand new sounds when it is released ... hopefully
we will get to hear them in a few months when they release RC1!

In fact, they had Robert Fripp do the sounds ... more info here:

Microsoft has not put a new sound scheme in place yet, but there will be
one. All I can say for now is wait.

That may come at release. About six months ago there was some press given
to recording sessions being done by a noted musician for Vista theme sounds.
I suspect that the sound scheme will be a goodie saved for the final.

Robert Fripp (formerly of King Crimson) is recording the sounds for Vista.

That's right. I just couldn't recall the name. It cost MS plenty and I am
sure they don't want the first impression on hearing it to wear off before
release.
