Vista vs. XP Sounds

A comparison between the sounds of Windows XP and the new sounds in Windows Vista

[@98tilinfinity52]

Every error in xp sounded like you were in big trouble

[@sonikku956]

Especially the error one. DUN

[@keryousfakhry6583]

[@Erick-cu9vh]

1:56 XP: OKAY YO BATTERY CRITICAL NOW DIDN'T I WORN YOU LAST TIME? NOW DO IT! 1:58 Vista: Can you plz do it? :3

[@kikicupcake1000]

+EristrikeStudios Windows Vista was too quiet... it doesn't notify anyone... XP could make someone fall out of their chair

[@LegoSam]

+EristrikeStudios XP is like that guy with anger issues. Vista is like that guy who always acts awkward. XP: I'M ABOUT TO DIE! GET OFF YOU BUTT AND CHARGE ME! DO IT RIGHT NOW! DID YOU EVEN HEAR MY LOW BATTERY MESSAGE? Vista: Uh, you might want to charge me. My battery is very low, so uh, please do it.

[@Albinary]

XP: GOOD, FULL VOLUME AND NOW A VERY LONG STARTUP SOUND. YOU JUST STARTED UP A COMPUTER, NOW CLOSE IT DOWN AND PLAY OUTSIDE. Vista: Hello there... sir?

[@thatcornfedrx8guy372]

[@mudded_singularity7832]

1:52 XP: *wood knock* 1:54 Vista: *synth* 1:56: XP *Two critical stop* 1:58: Vista *More high pitch synth*

[@sfgrgfsf212]

Vista sounds are quiet so they don't frighten you if the volume is too loud.(According to Microsoft) Some of XP's sounds frighten people like the Critical Stop and the Low battery sounds.

[@user-il4go7jq9i]

Critical Stop is funny sfx, it reminds me "Click "Fix" to fix this error"

[@feekado_1]

lol as i kid whenever my parents told me to turn of the computer (which was running xp) i would run to my room bc i was scared of the windows shutdown sound even had nightmares coz of windows xp lol

[@TetchyEquation]

I grew up with XP and Vista, both are legendary operating systems and I don't get why people hate Vista

[@MrVoxelStudios]

Vista was a resource hog, and took up way more RAM to do dimple tasks.

[@segatendo1985]

I always loved Vista too. I grew up with 98, XP, Vista and 7 and Vista felt the most nostalgic. Even though I was stuck on Home Basic for the 7 years I used it, Vista did the most for me. In fact I'm even considering getting a full copy of Home Premium because I miss it so much.

[@EquilibriumTelevision]

+TetchyEquation Vista was sluggish and had a lot of processing issues.

[@goiabexp]

The critical sound used to scare the living daylights out of me.

[@MordCoolJR15]

Those battery critical should scare you too, BTW I watched this before and where's the critical?

[@jp_0118]

Thing with Vista and onwards is that if you got something wrong, it'd soothe you like "Here's how you can fix it." Windows XP however was like a drill sergeant/Nazi general. You fuck up, you gon learn today boii

[@plumeater1]

XP sounds like the THX sound.

[@simonejohnson6091]

[@keryousfakhry6583]

exactly.

[@omerarfan]

[@jitroglennwcmandagi]

Windows 7 uses Windows Vista sounds.

[@mollymarble8002]

When your battery is critical on xp it feels like you in big trouble Windows xp:put me on chage

[@jitroglennwcmandagi]

Earlier Longhorn uses XP sounds, while Pre-RTM Vista uses both XP and Vista sounds.

[@jitroglennwcmandagi]

@HINSON LAU CHUNG HIN Moe Windows Longhorn is beta of Windows Vista.

[@DamyonsMusicHut]

People are hating on Windows Vista for being a bad os. But let's not forget that vista was the transition from XP to win7 so, at least thank vista for paving the way to windows 7.

[@mustasheolll2020]

Damyon's Music Hut they hate it because it was ahead of it’s time or their computer was shitty and they blame the os

I grew up with XP, I used 98 when I was three but only before my PC broke, some months after I started using it. I used XP up until 2010, I was 8 and bam we got a new PC, the first PC that wasn't a family one and it was all mine, and it had 7 on it. It was a whole new world for me.

[@ajschannel162]

0:33 This was used in Post Beta 2 to RC builds of Vista as "Windows Shutdown"

[@lucascalma605]

XP sounds feel suspenseful while Vista sounds have more mellow and some meditation vibes to it.

[@NermalCat]

My opinion on the sounds: Startup - Windows 2000 Shutdown - Windows 2000 Logon - XP Logoff - XP Ding - 98 (Ding, Chord, Chimes, Notify and Tada are Windows 98 sounds) Chord - 98 Chimes - 98 Notify - 98 Tada - 98 Minimize - Vista Restore - Vista Recycle - XP Windows Notify - Both Print Complete - Both Windows Default - Both Windows Balloon - Longhorn Windows Ding - 7 Characters Windows Critical Stop - Both Windows Error - Both Windows Exclamation - XP Hardware Sounds - 7 Characters Information Bar - XP Battery Low - Longhorn Battery Critical - Longhorn Pop - up blocked - Both Ringin - Vista Ringout - Vista XP - 18 Vista - 11 Other sounds - 12
