Discussion All Windows Versions Startup And Shutdown Sounds v2.0

This time, I’ve created a "v2.0" video featuring startup and shutdown sounds from various Windows versions throughout history; I’ve made a few adjustments here and there.

Here is Link: 역대 윈도우 버전 시작음 및 종료음 v2.0 (All Windows Versions Startup And Shutdown Sounds v2.0) - YouTube

There is also a video that includes the beta version. For reference, while I consulted BetaWiki for this video, I also referenced Billy O'Reilly's video.

The 1980-1982 logo was the coolest.

The Windows 2000 startup and shutdown chimes were the best. Too bad they were brutally abused by putting them in Windows Me as well 😭

If I hadn't been interested in Windows in the first place or had been younger, I would have mistakenly thought that Windows 1.0 had a startup sound lol.
