    I hate that fanfare. It gets really loud towards the end and pisses me off. It does it in loads of MS stuff...VB..Office etc.

    I think most MS products do it

    I can't see why they like sound so much...a sound card is for music and games...not silly clicking whenever you go to a menu

    Yeah, it's not that great (read: annoying), but they evidently like it, it is called "The Microsoft Sound."
