PC Tricks & Tips Special Windows Startup Sounds: 3.1 - Vista

This is the first special for the PC Tricks & Tips series. Yay!

This video shows the startup sounds on Windows Operating Systems, from the first ever startup sound on Windows 3.1 to the modern Windows Vista sound. Here is the order in the video.

Windows 3.1
Windows 3.11
Windows 95
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 98
Windows NT 5.0 (Beta 1/2)
Windows 2000
Windows ME
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
Windows Vista (Beta)
Windows Vista

NOTE: I used the Windows Longhorn logo for the Vista beta sound. That’s because I couldn’t find a certain Vista beta logo.

UPDATE: A modified version of this video is now avaliable on Google Video for download. Here is the link:

  19. I think Windows 5.0 Beta sounds rather weird…but I like the Windows XP sound better even though Vista is most up to date. I am going to try to change my Vista start-up sound so it sounds like Windows XP. =)

  20. In the inferior left corner of Windows Server 2003 it’s written a thing in portuguese.
    It’s written “Sistema operacional para servidores”, which it means “Operacional system for servers”
