Description

NOTES: They are a total of 10 sounds (also counting Windows NT 5.0, if not, they are 9). The most iconic of the sounds from the project is the classic Windows 95 startup sound called "The Microsoft Sound". Windows For Workgroups uses the same startup/shutdown sounds of Windows 3.xx, but with different order: Shutdown as Startup and Startup as Shutdown. I don't included the fake sounds, Like Windows Whistler or Longhorn (well, NT 5.0 startup sound is original, but shutdown is from NT 4.0): The first uses Win98 shutdown sound and Win2000 Builds 1983-2000 reversed and Spring Weekend level up SFX, the shutdown sound is from BeOS (the real ones are from Win2000/ME). Longhorn's fake Startup/Shutdown sounds came from a 2003 Samsung theme for Windows XP (the real sounds are from the mencioned Windows version). Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 uses the same Startup sound and Shutdown sound, but starting with Win8, they are no longer a shutdown sound, the startup is not activated by default, is optional. Windows NT 4.0 uses and original startup sound, but shutdown is the same startup but reversed; if you See Inside the project, there is a Sprite called "Windows NT 4.0", click it and go to "Sounds", on the shutdown sound (the second sound), click the Reverse button and you will heard that the shutdown sound is the startup sound! (Also do the same with the 1st sound too.)
