If you have got any startup sound from any other version(even from beta) of Windows or you have the default wallpaper collection from different version of Windows especially those from Windows 95 do share it with us here. I miss that cloud wallpaper.. oo those old days of my 486 box on which I used to run Windows 95.
Startup Sound (Music/Sounds): The same beeping arpeggio from Windows NT 5.0's The Microsoft Sound, but faster and high-pitched, and backed by a chorus pad. Much more pleasant than the original startup sound, and its shutdown sound. This was originally going to be used for the Beta 1 shutdown sound.
Music/Sounds: Early Betas/Builds until build 2481 used the Windows 2000/ME sounds, while Build 2481 introduced the Windows XP sounds. Build 2485 is the first build to use Windows XP sounds by default. The fake startup is a reverse Windows 98 shutdown sound ending in a ascending vibraphone melody (taken from Windows CE, however it has been slowed down) and ends with the Windows 2000 startup sound from beta 3 reversed. The fake shut down is a descending guitar melody ending with a few twinkling notes.
The Windows 95 startup sound is something special. The first time it was not just a simple signal, but a jingle. The story behind it is something with Brian Eno, on aseparate page . Duration: about 6 seconds.
He battles Windows 1.0. In the episode, He laughs because Windows 1.0 doesn't have a startup sound. He then shows off his startup sound which he blares so loud it caused Windows 1.0 to fall to the abyss.
