[C] A cheap way to get sound with windoze is to use the Aero's internal
speaker. All you need is a little dittle from Microsoft that they do not send
with windows. The file name is speak.exe. Its the driver for the internal
speaker. You get real sounds, not just beeps. The quality depends on the
internal speaker ... the aero's is OK.

[we should put a reference to that file in here, folks - the FAQ maintainer]
