Vista sound scheme?

Is there an official sound scheme for Vista yet? Not really a big or
important question, but I'm just curious. I've got a sound scheme right now
that's supposed to be the Vista sound scheme, but I'm not sure if it's
actually it or not. It did say 'unofficial Vista sound scheme'. The
starting Windows sound has a piano, some other background sound, and a
female voice. The sounds are much clearer than XP's and are more subtle.
Do these sound like a Vista sound scheme to you? To me, the Exit Windows
sound sounds like the Start Sound only kind of the opposite and it reminds
me a little of Windows ME except with a voice. (Not to scare anyone.)

The Vista sound scheme isn't in the builds yet. But I use that same
unofficial one on a couple of my XP machines, it's pretty good.

Hopefully the new sounds will be in the next couple of builds, they had
Robert Fripp doing the Vista sound
(http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=151853).

Yeh, expect the sounds to be in place by April CTP ) That's what I've
heard... they'll be put in then for a better user experience. Microsoft are
pulling out all the stops to impress the public by then ;o)

I thought they were going to use either "The Bold & the Beautiful" or "The
Young & the Restless" we'll be right back after these messages theme.

Ha ha! Nice one! I kind of agree with you. I couldn't stand the voice at
first, but it doesn't bother me now.

Sound scheme in my Vista is the same as XP, except for the half note at
shutdown. I'd wondered about that, but not enough to go searching for
something else.

Gad, I hope they don't use anything of that! Most horrendous music I ever
heard; lacking something or other.
