- Hayley3AM, on 10/26/2009, -0/+62wow that gave me all sorts of weird flashbacks, specially the 98 version. magical.
- inferno10, on 10/26/2009, -0/+45I don't ever recall hearing that first sound in Vista, only the last 2.

- srs2000, on 10/26/2009, -1/+21Wow... I thought *I* didn't have a life.
Thank you for proving me partly wrong. - codenamepenryn, on 10/26/2009, -0/+18That first one was for Beta version of Vista (Longhorn).
- inactive, on 10/26/2009, -1/+19No matter what sounds Microsoft picks or that you customize, you will hear them so many time it will end up hating them.The silent scheme is the least annoying.
[chime.wav] *shiver* - shadowspawn, on 10/26/2009, -0/+14I always thought that NT 4.0 had the sweetest startup sound.
- thisismydigg, on 10/26/2009, -0/+12Windows 2000 makes me feel like I can accomplish anything.
- Kuci06, on 10/26/2009, -1/+11You know whats even cooler? The windows rap, sampling the startup tune:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gN0_hzdOmDA - TheCollective00, on 10/26/2009, -0/+9Ever wanted to hear all the Windows startup and shutdown sounds from Windows 3.1 to Vista?
Yes!! - Chibioz, on 10/26/2009, -0/+9The Windows 95 sound is my favorite too. Haven't heard it in ages. I'm using windows 7 but I decided to go on a search to find the win 95 sound. Here's a link I found if anyone is interested. (Not my site) http://www.angelfire.com/games5/clockmaster/themic ...
- waydee, on 10/26/2009, -0/+8Same as 2k.
- pandawa, on 10/26/2009, -0/+8windows 95. wow, that brought be back my childhood!
- Johnglave, on 10/26/2009, -1/+8I like Windows 2000's, but Windows Vista's is different to how it is in the video.
- mishabear, on 10/26/2009, -0/+7ME didn't really exist. It was a collective nightmare that we have all thankfully forgotten.
- glberns, on 10/26/2009, -0/+6then why did you follow the link?
- MrMongoose, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5Never heard of it, thanks for this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwxN8sCIOOE - notyourbroom, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5Where's ME? Probably the same place Atari dumped all their copies of ET.
- joerod, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4i remember the win 98 days, when i finally got it installed and got aol going i was like a pig in *****
- KIERANMULLEN, on 10/26/2009, -1/+5Direct link ... Avoid blogspam
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1Iup7iDaeQ - TheCollective00, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4that's cool but I prefer this one...using no program other than Sound Recorder to edit/create the sounds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G6Di7oCKnU&fea ... - falafelkiosken, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4hell
- mishabear, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4*ashamed for still remembering the Windows 3.1 startup. *
- Jules0, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3damn, imagine starting up NT in a library after forgetting to turn off the volume...
- willp2, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3Where's ME?
- waydee, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3NT4 has the best startup sound, brings back some good memories.
- quokin, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3http://www.jimofseattle.com/music/Welcome_to_Windo ...
- PizzaCat, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3you cant see the win 7 one, BECAUSE THIS IS OLD!
- dalittle, on 10/26/2009, -2/+5There was a half life mod where the guy changed all the half life sounds to what ever he could do with his voice. This seems ripe for something like that.
- Dingly, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3haha you beat me to it, I remember that one from years ago, was amazed at the time
- Shakuras, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2Windows 95 and Encarta... brings back memories.
- Leonffs, on 11/20/2009, -0/+2Now my life is complete.
- rockon4life45, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2windows 2000 for the win
- sconvery, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2You mean like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt1bgsvsWms
- PR1811, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2Windows 95 and 2000 stand out for me. Windows 98 only reminds me of the number of times it made me jump out my skin after rebooting with the sound turned up too loud.
I've never heard that first Vista sound either. - Idiggapony, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2Well done. It did make me kind of uncomfortable watching that. Because, in my life, the sound of Windows starting up has always been a signal that I'm about to have a really ***** time for a while.
- skipvt, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2Changing those sounds is one of the first things I do after loading a new operating system.
- zadadka, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2"Windows NT Workstation 4" FTW
- antdude, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSGDeuYJB9A includes Windows v1 to v2. [grin]
- phylum, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1wish it would not do that.
- yourbrokenoven, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1Ok, the first sound they played out of the 3 for vista, I have never heard, and I've got vista ultimate 64 which should have all that extra jazz...
- MasterChi, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1or that the windows 7 startup sounds are just like Vista? maybe so.
- DjOverEZ, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1"ME didn't really exist. It was a collective nightmare that we have all thankfully forgotten."
You literally described the plot to Freddy vs Jason. - redfox2600, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1There was an old one a while back that had windows neptune on it does anyone still have that one?
- Lunarbunny, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1I think I set my Win95 startup sound to the intro to the Pokemon TV show when I was 10 or 11.
- igutekunst, on 10/26/2009, -1/+1NT 4.0 FTW!
- kitsua, on 10/27/2009, -1/+1Designed by Brian Eno.
