I had posted about Vista’s startup sound here. In that post I commented that

“I’m willing to bet that before Vista ships you will be able to mute the startup sound just like I can on my PowerBook, and I’m sure they’ll expose a way to change or control it via the registry or group policy.”

I forgot the followup that you can now control the startup sound, so we’ll just let Robert explain it.

On the subject of Vista delays and the initial gloom, doom, and panic, I stated…

“All Microsoft or manufacturers have to do is one thing and the Vista slip becomes irrelevant; for all purchases made after the date that Vista ships to the enterprise, include a free upgrade to Vista when it is released. That would appease 99% of new buyers.”

Looks like I was pretty close. The internet has made gaining access to information incredibly fast. Unfortunately, negative reaction sometimes tends to spread quicker than the truth. Always do your research. And don’t forget, you can keep up with other blog posts that I find interesting by following my Google Shared Items page.
