    As regards the start up sound in this thread, Windows 7 had it as well.
    Wouldn't surprise me if the sound had been accidently replaced on purpose :D

    Considering Windows 11 is like Vista in terms of its requirements and quality, this is a nice nostalgic touch.

    Haha! And I'll skip 11 just like I did Vista. It's just like the original Star Trek movies: only the even numbered ones were good! :D
