What’s Your Favourite Windows Startup And Shutdown Sound?

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!

    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).

    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. :)

        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.
