I remember clicking on Windows XP Tour by mistake in 2010. Then I experienced a wonderful trip through the operating system, and it helped me discover its secrets. It also made me curious of what other Windows OS’s there are, so I started studying about them and making some research. Later, I became a massive IT fan, and since that moment I have wanted to become a programmer! All this, thanks to the fact that I clicked by mistake on a Tour. I’ll never forget that moment 😊

It think about, how can I even remember that music? It was hidden deep down in my brain, only to come up again now. I would have never found it in my memories, wasn't it for that video.

Jesus, Windows XP had the best OOBE of any operating system, even today. When you set up something like Windows 7 or 10, it;s the basic "type in your name and password" and they give you a half-assed tutorial of how to use your new computer. Something along the lines of "move your mouse to the corner". Windows XP gave you a well organized tour of the O.S., complete with pictures and music. Windows 10 doesn't even have a startup sound. But I think we can all agree that Windows XP had the scariest sound effects of any O.S.

[@ciberkid22]

Technically Windows 10 does have a startup sound, but it's the same as the windows 7/8 one.. C'mon Microsoft, where did your creativity go?

I remember finding a glitch that let you "erase the window" in Microsoft paint. I was so exited when I found it and all I did for ages was play around with it, drawing little theatres and putting windows media player behind it. The way you did it was take a screenshot of a video playing in media player, and pasting it directly into paint. Then it would show up as a purple looking colour. If you used the colour picker on it and drew, it would essentially allow you to draw a sort of transparency, that would act as a hole through to whatever was behind.

[@wordart_guian]

Oh yes, I remember it, it was super weird. Maybe it was a weird kind of copy protection.

[@Robciomixxnfs]

Oh yes! I used to do the exact same thing! When I was a kid, I was really fascinated with movie making and TV. I drew little theatres too, but I also drew TV station logos, so it looked like I'm watching a real TV on my PC. I used to record my own "tv show", and then put the camera in front of my screen with poorly drawn Disney Channel, or just a local TV station logo. The color that was used for that transparency effect was #100010. I found out about this "glitch", when I wanted to make a screenshot of a video I recorded, but then I realised it would not save the video frame, it would save that purple color instead.

So you think windows xp is just another operating system of the Windows Family? Well, look deeper: Windows XP is by far the most USER FRIENDLY OS you have ever used. There is a tour to show you what to do, and the NEWEST WINDOWS DON'T HAVE THAT! And if you think about it, Windows XP is like a dream, listening to peaceful music, while watching the tour, and the beautiful wallpaper, nature picture, and the awesome GUI which looks much better than all other OS I have ever used. The sound effects are refreshing, and most of the error sounds remind you of your childhood and imagine; When opening it, you are greeted by a LOOOOOONG sound, basically saying, WELCOME TO WINDOWS XP! It is calming and relaxing. The windows 7 startup sound is nothing compared to windows xp, 98, 95 startup sounds. I can go on and on, but this will be too long, so all I have to say is: Windows XP is the best of the Windows family. Period.

[@LoogiTheDino]

+EvilChief Productions Yeah but XP also had some problems: - Slow - Ugly GUI by default. - Unstable at times (even with SP3, SP2 wasn't that bad, even some betas were not that buggy) - Basically unsupported by Microsoft since 2009 (minus security updates.) - Life cycle lasted far too long (compared to 2000 and what Vista will have) - Overrated piece of crap. - The little kids in the comments section literally like 'oh windows 8 sucks cos it's not xp.' or 'oh microsoft killed xp cos they wanted windows 8 to get attention' or 'windows 7 sucks...' etc Although you do have reasonable points, it's pretty nostalgic, even for me, but XP ran like shit on my E-System.

Windows XP was (and still is) the best and *most* stable OS of Microsoft after Windows 2000. The thing is that, nobody can experience the same on a new computer as on old one. Your computer is just too new to run such a OS. If you got an old computer and see the real Windows XP experience, you were going to say that "Windows 7, 8 and even 10 sucks". lol And about "-slow", it is your own fault that you were trying to run it on a computer ment to be running Windows 98. And about "-Ugly GUI by default.", everyone have his own option. I personally think that Windows XP GUI is the best, but hey, why the themes were released for? Windows XP for Ever!

[@LoogiTheDino]

Alex Aleksandrov It was not the most stable OS, ever. It was buggy on the RTM release, and even SP3 has a lot of bloat in it.

Although I use Windows 7 Pro and Mac OS for my personal and professional development I still do reminisce of those XP days. XP shall live on in my heart and mind. Thank you XP and to the owner of this channel for uploading this music.

Listening to this makes me yearn for the simpler days, when I was a young one playing with my grandfather's Windows XP machine (I only had a computer with Windows 98 until 2006). The tour was (and still is) my favorite thing about Windows XP.

[@maheshgovindarajan5555]

One day I was bored and I decided to watch the XP tour video. The voice of the guide was so soothing and the way she explained everything was so mesmerising. I still love Windows XP 😊😊

[@messagefromthelegends659]

DAMN IT, This reminds me of when I was 5 years old, my parents got me an IBM thinkpad t40 with windows xp and I grew up with my IBM and i always loved messing around, listening to the error sounds and sound effects and playing with it over all, I had it until April 8, 2014, when windows xp finally ended support, I now have a macbook pro and I so damn miss the old days, I always cry thinking bout when I let my IBM go. :(

Windows XP must be back in the future! They must have the same features as the new Windows 10 or 11, but same mechanics, new and improved sounds with the same old sounds, yet remastered, a new tour, with the same tour music, the same Bliss wallpaper you guys know it today, the same startup and shutdown sounds, the same error sound, the same design, Clippy, same, yet remastered games, same UI but with a little remaster and installation. We must start a campaign to bring back Windows XP from the dead!

[@Tech_Champ]

I remember being in Kindergarten in 2013 not knowing much about computers at all and seeing a Smart board for the first time. I was interested how you could touch the screen and it would respond on the computer so a few days before Christmas, my mom gave me her old Asus netbook running Windows XP Home and I clicked on the tour playing around on it. It got me interested in computers and I learned more about them and fast forward 9 years I'm a computer geek with a Tech KZbin Channel. I would not have my great computer knowledge if it wasn't for the Smart Board and the Netbook.

[@lcrazy8l]

Totally used it all the time. Family gets stuck not knowing how to do something, phone guided them through sending me a request with that, remote / VNC-like interface let me just do it for them while they could still see the screen and learn. It was fucking awesome. It got gamed eventually though by phishing scammers... too many people were dumb and sending the requests to strangers in the later years.

[@CEO100able]

I do too since I first used an HP Pavilion 710 CTO PC with Windows XP Home Edition on it (which I used to have until 2004 due to technical problems) back in 2002. I also remember the HP Tour Guide (a Microsoft Agent based program that features Victor as its character) and some classic WildTangent games that were pre-loaded on it, like Speedway and the trial versions of Virtual Warfare, SabreWing 2 and Gem Master 2. The music sounds great and relaxing. To this day, I still like using Windows XP and its tour program on actual computers and in virtual machines in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and VirtualBox.

[@theAbstractionLair]

Achingly beautiful. It makes me happy because it reminds me of warm and innocent childhood days, but it also makes me sad knowing the type of world this delicate and pastoral music suggests is either gone, or it never existed, and I’m never sure which is true. It feels more like it existed and is now gone. The world is a different place now. Social media has ushered in a new era in the early part of the last decade,but at what cost? Humanity has arguably regressed. The future doesn’t seem to be as bright as it once was. I miss the days where I could experience this tour of Windows XP without a care in the world. To be able to go back would be pure ...bliss.

+A Boy and his Pentium Because when Vista was current, it was still common to have only around 1gig of RAM, which just wasn't enough, plus before the service packs driver issues were very common, so the stigma of it being a bloated flakey piece of shit stuck. With 2+gigs of RAM and the service packs installed, Vista is a solid OS.
