AISHA DUOThe other day, I was looking for vista's startup theme because I want to use it as the startup tone for my WinMo phone. I found the WAV files for various system events but ultimately failed to find the actual tone. I used the search button to locate all music files in \windows (Search is one of Vista's best features IMO), and to my surprise, I found eleven excellent WMA tracks in the winsxs folder, with complete album artwork and ID3 infos. (I also liked Vista's new thumbnail view for music files)
You can get the songs by going to \Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-musicsamples...
Complete list of tracks:
* Aaron Goldberg - OAM’s Blues
* AISHA DUO - Amanda
* AISHA DUO - Despertar
* Habib Koité and Bamada - Din Din Wo (Little Child)
* Habib Koité and Bamada - I Ka Barra (Your Work)
* Karsh Kale - Distance
* Karsh Kale - One Step Beyond
* Nicolaus Esterhazy Sinfon - Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, ‘Eroica’ - Scherzo-allegro vivace
* The Posies - I Guess You’re Right
* The Posies - Love Comes
* Luciana Souza; Romero Lubambo - Muita Bobeira
I Guess You're Right is my favorite song in the group. I couldn't think of any reason why Microsoft would include those songs in a cleverly hidden folder. Maybe, they're the favorite artists of MS employees?
