The big problem with Beep(), or so did thirteen-year-old me think, was that unless you were on Windows NT it ignored the arguments, always producing a sound with the same frequency and duration. It meant that, despite it seeming like a straightforward replacement, you couldn't really use Beep() to port MS-DOS code that relied on Borland Pascal's CRT unit [1] to produce sound effects with the PC speaker.
