    With the latest pretty things added in the RC, we now have over a dozen sounds schemes! Which one have you settled on?

    I hate to say it, but I think my new sound scheme has actually made my experience better!

    How about none. Sounds are annoying. Disabled all the noises like on start up, shut down, etc. :]

    I'll stick with the default sound scheme. It's fine and I never found any of the other schemes particularly interesting.

    I kept the old Vista Ultimate Extra Scheme called Glass. The new ones all sux.

    The new Wallpaper is cool though. I like the Characters one, although I got it in a rotation with a heavy dose of Alizee and Elisha Cuthbert.

    i went with quirky...just couldn't NOT choose quirky somehow ;) Haven't even tried others yet...I did change the welcome screen screen though, couldn't stand the "trying to look artistic" illustration...and the birdie. Now i've got a great HR pic of a cappucino when my lappie wakes up ;)
