Windows XP installation music [HD]

This music may not be played during the actual installation of Windows XP, however during restoration of xp the track will play. (correct me if I'm completely wrong)
The song was created by Microsoft, therefore i claim no rights for the soundtrack or pictures.
Find the song on XP machines here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\images\title.wma

[@timsalt6713]

True but atm xp only got expanded because of money risk because the replacement system is not ready yet and embedded because the uk and a few countries were stupid and not ready even though ms gave everyone several years last time the current uk deal is 5.5 mill to support xp till end of 15 by which time microsoft will cut uk support for xp in business , nhs and goverment nhs is the big problem since 75% is still xp but reports say alot of little companies are now ethier going 7 or have whiny goverment departments and countries are probably underneath winding ms up now because as i say microsoft Said years ago we will give till 2014 to migrate onto windows vista ok it was a pr disaster but ms reacted fast with to get 7 out

willzurmacht -- If you're looking for more of this, I'd recommend looking into psychill and psybient. Much of it is very closely-related to this (trance-y, space-y, uplifting, sometimes dark and contemplative, always invigorating) Great artists in this mode include Tripswitch; Connect.Ohm; Cell; Asura; Aural Planet; Noraus; Distant System; H.U.V.A. Network. Try searching KZbin for "Spacemind" who created a series of mixes that contain a lot of diverse artists / tracks in this style, and then you can start to narrow it down to your favorite artists to find exactly the niche that you crave. (Sorry -- I'm very excited by psychill and psybient, great stuff for concentration.)

Steve Nugent My dad had Win2000 on his and got a new computer later on with Windows XP. I had the Win2000 for a little while before the hard drive failed. Then he got a new computer with Windows 7 and I got his XP. Since a little while after that, I have a windows 8 computer that I downgraded to 7. I can still remember 2000 and XP *sigh*. Then again, I did install XP on my mom's because it can't run anything else (not even the factory OS) without sounding like a leafblower and because it's a 2006 Celeron.

Windows XP is the 2nd most used system even today just behind 7. its sad to see its mainstream support end in April 2014 but I'll never forget it. its better than what I use now which is Windows 8.1 and I'm sure its better than 10 too. This surely is a great way to welcome you to one of the best windows systems ever made since Windows 2000. even with no more security support XP will never die.

Windows XP was alright for gaming, except the only Windows XP compatible games I've ever played were GTA IV and FSX. Speaking of FSX, there's this mod that allows you to fly a Concorde and as the Olympus engines spool up with the throttle past 50% N1, this music can be faintly heard. Here's a link to it. www.fs-freeware.net/downloads/download/52-civil-aircraft/1790-fsx-concorde-final-version-a-2011.html

[@aleagamer]

That gave an idea: I was wanting to make a game (I haven't put the project into practice yet because there's a lot left) and it would be interesting to put this song as credits.It was like seeing the buildings turn to ruins because the reign ended while it played in the background would be weird but it would literally be the happiest end of the game because at least it didn't end with wars or destroyed it just slowly fell into disrepair.
