Prolific blogger and ex-Microsoft Robert Scoble, on the other hand, says that he’s not impressed at all, especially with the inability of us users to change the startup sound to something we like, or to even have a choice of cool sounds. We’re just stuck with that sound, and Robert’s mightily peeved. He claims that a committee at Microsoft was responsible for these decisions.

For me, it’s no so big a deal, even though I do sort-of agree with Robert on this one.

To hear an interesting interview with Microsoft’s Steve Ball, the man who organised all of the work with Robert Fripp and other musicians on the new Vista sounds, you can listen to an interview from the U.S. ‘National Public Radio’ or NPR.

If you’re going to be a Vista user, check out the new sounds. You’ll be hearing them every day for the next few years!
