A BIOS with musical taste
Lashiec:
This is the strangest thing I ever seen in a Microsoft site:
A BIOS with musical taste
And the coolest feature added to a BIOS. Scrap your voltage regulation, I want "Carmina Burana" when the computer is going to fry itself. And wouldn't be cool to play music in the background so the BSOD experience would be more pleasant?

"A system fault has occured. Here is some soothing music while your PC reboots."
cranioscopical:
Is it true that the latest Award BIOS updates this to Mozart KV 626?
Ralf Maximus:
Speaking of musical interludes from unusual hardware, I used to have a program for my Commodore 64 that would play "Daisy" on the floppy drive... by thrashing the stepper motor back and forth a zillion times per second. It generated a variable frequency buzz that would make your teeth ache.
It was something you always demonstrated on other people's hardware.
