Cold Crunch
Robert Scoble has been fishing around for more information about the news that Vista will have a mandatory startup sound. In his post he includes two reasons based on discussion with Steve Ball, group program manager for the ‘Windows Audio Video Excellence team’. One of which is:
A spiritual side of the branding experience. A short, brief, positive confirmation that your machine is now concious and ready to react. You can turn on your Vista machine, go eat some cereal, while your machine is cold booting and then this gentle sound will come out telling you that you can log in. You won’t need to wait for your machine to startup, he says.
Now, where do I start..
