A light-hearted post for Friday follows. I’ve just found a video that plays every Windows startup and shutdown sounds all the way from Windows 1 to Windows 7 milestone. Which one is your favourite? My vote goes for Windows 98:

Yeah I’d have to go with 98 also. But with how long it is I don’t think it would be done playing the sounds before my PC is fully up and running XD!
windows 95 definatly for me. First computer i ever used when i was like 5 was a windows 95 totally anchient laptop.
Mine was WindowsNT 4.0
I’ll go for either WinMe/2000 and Win95 for the best. (To tell you the truth, I use Windows Me/2000 startup song as my shutdown song in Windows Vista – I will be transferring to Win7 as soon as I am done updating my installation files and backing up, and yes, I’ll keep that ME/2000 song as my shutdown song)
Let’s vote for the worst. I’ll go with Vista / 7 (such a shame that a good OS such as Win7 does not get a proper treatment).
I reacon the 9x’s as they are very nostalgic for me
XP or 98.
Oh !! I remember like 10 years ago, whe I heard the boot sound for 98 !! So good !
But XP is famous too !!
7 and vista : it’s a shame !! Too bad…
mute!
Windows 95 is the best. Windows Vista is the worst.
Windows 95 FTW!
The only sounds that ever accompanied my windows boxes blue screens were me cursing and the whir of the cdrom as I moved my home network to a dependable operating system.
expected better than an irrational fanboy response from you Michael!
Oh c’mon, it was funny.
You know I don’t harbor any real ill will toward the Windows world. Use what you like and respect everyone else’s right to be different.
You’re not suppose to run Vista on a Windows 3.11 machine my friend.
i like windows 2000… makes it sound like a movie presentation. I think vista sounds are the worst. too short and too simple.
Windows 98 FTW!
Can you show me whare i can get windows 2000 startup and shutdown sounds for my XP
