Comments on: A promise to Mr. Ball or In case somebody is for a forced startup sound on vista … http://crueltobekind.org/a-promise-to-mr-ball-or-in-case-somebody-is-for-a-forced-startup-sound-on-vista-292 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:24:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tim http://crueltobekind.org/a-promise-to-mr-ball-or-in-case-somebody-is-for-a-forced-startup-sound-on-vista-292#comment-357 Tim Sat, 26 Aug 2006 10:29:00 +0000 http://crueltobekind.org/a-promise-to-mr-ball-or-in-case-somebody-is-for-a-forced-startup-sound-on-vista-292#comment-357 Awful. It leads away from the idea of the PC as a "Personal Computer", which is a part of the success-story. It can be the starting point for other "brandings" and the way from an individual machine to an interchangeable standardized piece of equipment, like game-consoles. My start-sound is a voice: "Good morning, should we do something?" - in a North-German dialect. Awful.

As for the restrictions and alike ... yeah, I hope the linux people finally have reached a point of a decent interface with a working, windows compatible (!) keyboard mapping for shortcuts and alike. They could be ready by now and I actually like the name Unbuntu. ;) Well, I am assuming it will be a bit harder to get it done this time but I am full of hope.
