    Default Vista sound scheme?

    Is there an official sound scheme for Vista yet? Not really a big or
    important question, but I'm just curious. I've got a sound scheme right now
    that's supposed to be the Vista sound scheme, but I'm not sure if it's
    actually it or not. It did say 'unofficial Vista sound scheme'. The
    starting Windows sound has a piano, some other background sound, and a
    female voice. The sounds are much clearer than XP's and are more subtle.
    Do these sound like a Vista sound scheme to you? To me, the Exit Windows
    sound sounds like the Start Sound only kind of the opposite and it reminds
    me a little of Windows ME except with a voice. (Not to scare anyone.)

    The Vista sound scheme isn't in the builds yet. But I use that same
    unofficial one on a couple of my XP machines, it's pretty good.

    Hopefully the new sounds will be in the next couple of builds, they had
    Robert Fripp doing the Vista sound

    Yeh, expect the sounds to be in place by April CTP :o) That's what I've
    heard... they'll be put in then for a better user experience. Microsoft are
    pulling out all the stops to impress the public by then ;o)

    Sound scheme in my Vista is the same as XP, except for the half note at
    shutdown. I'd wondered about that, but not enough to go searching for
    something else.
