[@evanmak7837]

I think the old ones sound a little cringey today. Sure there is the nostalgia factor, but early PCs had this "epicness" and "into the unknown" theme around them. Today the sounds are much more casual and simple, like walking in a coffee shop to work remotely, not before being greeted happily by a good friend.

People mistakenly bought it as a successor to Windows 98, when it was actually Windows ME the successor to 98. Windows 2000 was misunderstood and quite stripped down in places, and buggy. We had it. Skipped ME for XP and it was a fuckin buggy mess. The SP1 and SP2 editions solved all the problems, same deal with Vista. Rubbish until SP1 but most people skipped it until Windows 7 came along. My experience is from studying IT for 3 years and being around Windows systems my whole, though in elementary we heavily used MacOS on the school PCs and played around with Hyper Studio alot, making the text to speech guy on that program read out our ridiculous shit. Back home it was Windows, Playstation, Nintendos and eventually the first Xbox.

[@fawfulfan]

@@SPNKr16 2000 was actually one of the stablest versions of Windows I ever used. ME was a buggy mess because the 9x kernel simply couldn't stably support the modern features and drivers it was trying to direct. 2000 was based on NT.

I agree! My parents bought their first PC in 1996. It was a Packard Bell model with only 8 MB of RAM. It was my introduction to computers and the internet which at that time was known as the world wide web. I was 18 years old. Indeed Windows 95 is from another time. No social media, no smartphones. It blows my mind to know that I was around to experience the internet in its infancy. When login required dialing your land line phone number into a modem. Do you kids even remember modems? Christ I'm old.

Windows vista is one of the most beautiful systems in the world

[@SPNKr16]

@@Farhad10.000 It still is and has aged perfectly compared to XP all the way to 11. Vista was the most aesthetically pleasing. XP looked like a Fisher Price theme pack for 2000, looks REALLY childish and now really dated - the jarring clashing combinations of blues, greens and reds. I immediately switched to the Media Center theme, and even once tried out a Vista transformation pack because I couldn't upgrade to it. There was even a modified Media Center theme which was darker and came with a New Bliss default wallpaper, like a CGI version of an open field, part real life, part fiction. Things looked great besides XP, particularly Vista. Vista is the most spectacular looking Windows OS of all time, when graphics and appearance are considered. For the time they blew everything away that had ever existed prior to its previews and then its launch. Windows 7 stripped down the graphics but partially retained the appearance, just a boring sequel to Vista though I learned to appreciate and love that one since it lasted a very long time. Windows 95 etc looked like a regular thing you had to deal with, a product of its time. Expensive but invisible and pedestrian. Was not amazing "looking", but looked regular and did the job. We never spoke about the colours and effects, though Vista was loaded with everything - and there never will be anything that looks like it.

Inaccuracies found: Windows 3.0 MME is missing since it was the first Windows with sounds. Windows NT 5.0 in this video uses early Windows 2000 Beta 3 Startup sound as Shutdown sound, while in reality it uses Windows NT 4.0 Shutdown sound Windows Whistler here uses fake sounds made from reversed Win98 Shutdown, Microsoft Entertainment Pack Level Up sound, and reversed Win2000 Startup. The shutdown is taken from BeOS. In Reality, Windows Whistler used Windows 2000 sounds. Windows Server 2003 Startup in this video is from a promotional animation. In reality, all versions (including UK) use Windows XP sounds. Windows Longhorn uses Windows XP Samsung Theme sounds in this video, while in reality, it uses Windows XP sounds in both pre- and post-reset Vista/Longhorn Beta builds. Windows 8/8.1 uses unused Logon sound in this video. In reality, Windows 7 Startup was used for Win8/8.1 Startup sound instead. Windows 10 uses sound from HoloLens trailer. Like Win8/8.1, Windows 7 Startup sound was still used as startup sound in reality. Windows 10X should not be included into this video I guess. It uses some Windows 11 error sound in this video. But I guess there are no sounds in Windows 10X.

@@zacharymartinez9455 No they aren't, it was just a failed project MS came up with to try to succeed XP...

[@seapea127]

1:04 and 1:27 would go together perfectly as a startup and shutdown sound respectively. change my mind.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Yeah, the Whistler ones aren't real. They were labelled as fan-made in another video like this one, uploaded years ago on another channel. The shutdown sound is made from an alternate sound type for Windows 7, and the NT 5.0 themes.

[@Mario-xk7kh]

Ur right

[@andrewcairo6299]

Windows 95 reminds me of my childhood when I first had a PC when I was a young child.

[@DoctrinaEgoista_Z]

2:32 Ah yes. This one was the second computer I had. Before this one I had Windows 7. ¡So many memorys man!

[@haneenasad]

The Windows XP and Vista one brings back so much nostalgia and childhood memories.... 😢😢❤️❤️❤️

[@opt1ss]

I kinda want to make a pc and get longhorn as the OS so that I can hear the awesome startup/shutdown noises

[@luca_bagnoli]

@@opt1ss they are fake. Try installing Longhorn Build 4074 in virtualbox or VMware, you will hear XP Sounds. Longhorn has XP Sounds

WINDOW XP AND 95 WAS JUST. NOSTALGIC😢

[@Pastis51B]

thank u for the nostalgic sharing!

[@justinkaufman495]

that windows 7 sound still hits different

[@weimarballproductions83482]

OK so this is the real startup sound for Windows 10X: at this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6Skkpp9rtWMgKM

[@jackhole1990]

0:18 I think back to being in a computer lab full of other kids logging in at the same time after the last class cranked the volume on every machine before they logged off.

[@ZefDavenport]

Windows 95 introduction was the very first sound I heard a computer make. Now I work as a server technician, and that little jingle has never left my memory.

[@brianbaratheon]

The 95 chime brought back some memories. Getting home from school, logging into AOL, and starting up Age of Empires in the Internet Gaming Zone. IMing friends. Getting punted off AOL. Trying to figure out how to use ICQ because of weird friends who didn't want to use AIM. Chat rooms. Downloading a billion RAR files to get free software, only for one file be be corrupt and not know which one it is, thus wasting a week's worth of tying up the phone-line.

[@SPNKr16]

2005 was similar, downloading 50 fucking parts to a zip or rar. I'd never heard of a rar before I dove into torrenting. Torrenting was like magic, still is. I torrent everyday. I torrent everything, anywhere, anytime. I also have Soulseek with 28,000 files ready to be directly shared to anybody, anywhere, anytime.

[@stellarthings3435]

I remember when I played games on my dads windows xp but broke his keyboard ..

[@AstartesP]

Windows 3.1 was the most nostalgic for me, mind blown from the silenced C:\ screen to that first ever GUI !!!

[@Freddie_R]

C:\> win (press enter) XD

[@jeffreydotson4842]

Same here, I am surprised that I am not seeing more nostalgia for that edition of Windows.

[@Lovelingual]

I need to know why I feel compelled to listen to this video over and over again.

[@fab555trainspottingandmore]

I know i wasn't born until 2004 but i know it must have been very special for those who got their first PC or Laptop in 1995-2001. And it probably was even more special, when you could go to the Internet. Today it's just normal to have one

[@MG-wk2eh]

I'm 12 years older than you. When I was a kid/early teen, the internet was pretty much treated by many adults as some new/dangerous thing. You're used to things like people's entire identity being online, people using their real names/pics online, dating apps being normal. When I was growing up, doing those things were extremely taboo. Only losers used dating sites or made friends online, and you were pretty much warned to consider everyone online to be a weirdo. When Facebook became popular in the late 2000s, the same adults who said never use your real name etc online, were signing up there, using their real names and posting their entire lives.

[@JPAB9680]

I just miss all of the 1985-1998 i would do anything to return to theses days

[@thangnguyenvan1489]

what

[@theoz6189]

I to My Brain Traveling to the 1985 To See All computers

[@classicsportsgames]

man the 2000 one just hits different for me, i remember my dad would always start up the computer for me when I was really little and helped me open jumpstart.

[@hanyoukimura]

Windows 98, 2000, and XP are my favorite startups.

[@hi__sseungwan]

idk why but i feel goosebumps while watching this vid...

[@Hidden_Destinations]

I vividly recall trying to fix my PC for days and finally hearing the XP boot sound. That was a glorious day.

[@kevinjamessajan4061]

These sounds bring back a lot of memories

[@domidextrus]

The startup sound for Windows 2000/Me probably gives me the biggest shot of nostalgia, with 95, XP, and 98 following close behind in that order.

[@TheCreedBratton]

I used to know all the ways to crash or lockup a windows me computer in order to get out of doing my homework 😅

[@marioPop76]

I was in elementary school when I first saw and heard the 98 startup. My class went to our school's library and saw a demo on one of the computers. When the startup music played, we all went "Woooooaaah."

[@JujuBennie]

i had a windows 7, but it finally broke about a year ago. i loved booting it up and hearing that glorious start-up sound...

[@thedankfootballtricks]

windows 95 startup was so aesthetic i like the windows 7 one also noice video

[@nyusuka]

The Windows 3.1 startup sound sounds like "Wew, it finally started successfully after 37 attempts !". 🤣

[@sludgex]

this feels odd to say but the longhorn startup haunted me as a kid, i was very paranoid as a child and i just thought that loud voice would feel like a nightmare hearing it from my bedroom at night.

[@zeegonsan-zeo5508]

This video made me feel so nostalgic! It took me a while to realise that some of these OS's are just betas, like NT 5.0, Whistler and Longhorn and the latter two's sounds aren't real. But man, what a nostalgia trip

The funny thing is that it isn't even from Microsoft. It's from a Samsung theme pack for Windows XP.

Sadly it never was on longhorn, it used Windows XP Sounds

the amount of nerds here to say its not real though we all know

Hearing windows 7 brought back some good childhood memories at the school computer lab
