Vista System Sounds

[coyotewrw]

Hi all,

I read that Robert Fripp is still working on the complete set of system sounds for Vista. Can anyone provide what's been released so far in the betas and RC1? PM me and I'll give you my email.

Thanks

Fripp! I'm dying for a preview!

Why don't you just download it from M$... it's free.

BTW, if the only thing you're anticipating about Vista is its sounds... I don't think that's much of a reason for wanting it

[coyotewrw]

Whatever. I never said the sounds were the *only* thing I want from Vista. Where you pulled that from I'll never know.

Anyone have a useful response?

Vista does not have new sounds yet, they are the same ones that are in XP. Hopefully they'll replace them before RTM, I remember a whole big thing a while back about them hiring some guy to make the new sounds for Vista.

[coyotewrw]

They hired guitarist Robert Fripp, one of the founders of King Crimson and considered by many musicians to be a pioneer of modern guitar sound. Check out his Wikipedia entry if you want more info, and here's a cool video of the recording sessions.

Is he going to be working on the opening music too?

For som reason i was/am still looking forward to a new logon theme...

I hate it when people just create a topic, instead of searching.. how arrogant.

I've created a package with the sounds and a .reg file to install them. Enjoy (the search & the sounds).

hint: it's in the Unattended Windows forum. ("Vista Sounds").

Apparently the Vista team really likes the new sounds as well, this post on a Microsoft (or Ex-Microsoft) blogger's site pretty much sums the issue up; according to him the start-up sound is so good that it's likely to be non-customizable. I can't wait.

Actually, I *did* search, but apparently in the wrong section. I looked in the customizing sections. Anyway, a buddy has already sent them to me, so f*ck you very much for your rude-*ss suggestion.

Sheesh, what's up with some of you Vista guys and your snarky posts? You guys REALLY need to tone down the high-and-mighty crap. Need a reality check? Go to a bar and try telling some hot betty about how you're on the bleeding edge of computing, see how far you get before she loses interest.

@ BizTalk, Skyfrog, Renegade_Member : The ones I received sound similar to the current XP sounds, just a little nicer. I suspect MS just put them in the betas/RC1 to have something there while Fripp completes the real set. If the final product is anything like his past work, should be pretty kick*ss. BTW, thanks for not being total dicks like ZileXa and LLXX.

This issue is closed as far as I'm concerned. My apologies to the other board members for flaming, but it needed to be said.

You are expected to search the entire site and not just one forum of it, even though most would probably start off with the Vista forum only.

Thanks, mod-wannabe.

PM me. I can upload it for you

[coyotewrw]

@dsp.deepak: Cool, thanks. Hopefully you'll have some of the wavs I'm still missing. I'll also send you what I already have.

I just pm'ed you my email...

I downloaded the Vista Transformation pack and it included the new Vista sound theme. Don't know if its real though.

Yes, I used the latest build of Vista and its still using the XP sound theme.
