Just what is the Windows start-up sound supposed to be alerting me to? Definitely not that the computer is ready to use. It would be more useful if it didn't play until after all the start-up "things" have finished launching, and the computer is ready to go.
One of my favorite moments in the TV series "My Name is Earl" is when Patty the Daytime Hooker says, "What have I done with my life? I've got a master's degree."
