The Windows Vista sounds in RC2 were the same as Windows XP. Now, hearing the sounds that are included with Windows Vista I am not bothered that they were not in RC2. I clearly didn’t miss much. These sounds, except for the startup sound, are crap.

Are generally lightweight software programs that communicate with your PC's operating system and other complimentary software in order to make a piece of hardware work.

When worked his magic on Windows Vista, everyone knew Vista is going to sound different and hopefully better. Now that Vista is literally peeking around the corner, not that it’s possible for a software to peek or even exist in the physical world, but if it were able to peek, what would it sound like? And how different would it sound to XP? Tried to help, but he was no avail. And that’s why I spent my entire evening (just kidding), half my evening coming up with this head-to-head comparison between Windows Vista’s system sounds and Windows XP’s. Pbx install unistim nortel networks inc. And only when you put them side-by-side, you can compare and judge which ones are better. You’ll hear sounds changed entirely, and even sounds barely changed at all.
Although the sounds for speech recognition were not included since there were no comparisons in XP. It is extremely interesting to note that all XP sounds were encoded at 352kbps, and Vista sounds encoded in 1411kbps.
That’s 4 times the quality. And you’ll also notice the Vista sounds are all equalized at a lower volume than the XP counterparts, making them less annoying when you have your speakers turned up high.
As well as, nearly every Vista sound is shorter than the XP version. Have a listen for yourself. Oliver M, my points were stating “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” Honestly, what is wrong with XP? Why all this unnecessary overhaul in the GUI? Why make this OS require at least 1GB RAM and a super fast CPU? I know some of you will say “economics requires new OSs for new hardware” or “XP was a security risk!” but really, couldn’t all those issues have been addressed with a Service Pack 3 or something?
If I ever use Vista as a permanent replacement to XP, it will be because it came with my PC, not because I was wowed to death with all these minute changes to basic functionality or whatever. Vista feels like OSX 10.3 and 10.4.unnecessary upgrades since 10.2 (equivalent to XP in importance) gets you everything you honestly really needthe rest is fluff ? I always rant Longsorry BTW – I agre eon the.MOV thingkinda weird for a pro-MS site to use MOV files. I’ve got to say that even though I’m a die-hard Mac user, I’m quite impressed (with everything except the hardware sounds). Let’s say each major revision of Windows (and a couple failed revisions) represented one core idea, one thing that Microsoft mastered on their long, slow crawl towards GUI adulthood. DOS: Prenatal (the heart beats, there is brain activity) Windows 1.0-2.0: Functional Basics (learning to walk/talk etc.) Windows 3.0-3.1.1: Learning (learning basic reading, writing, arithmetic) Microsoft Bob: Tried at beauty, but it was like junior prom – You had no idea how dorky you looked. Nonetheless, overall it was a small, tentative step in the right direction.
