Microsoft's latest Windows 11 preview builds contain a bug that replaces the operating system's startup sound [1]with Windows Vista's iconic boot chime from 2006. Microsoft acknowledged the bug in its release notes -- describing it as a "delightful blast from the past" -- and said it was working on a fix.

... and not one of the devs dicking about, why is the Vista sound still being installed at all? Makes me wonder how much other disused junk the windows installer dumps onto the drive because MS can't be bothered to audit whats still in use and what isn't.

Someone was just being cute.
But next time, to make it really fun, use a fart, or maybe the sound of someone vomiting.
