The Microsoft Sound
adiment:
anybody using knoppix and have the logon sound? now that was a nice one "Initiating Boot Sequence"...not even sure if it uses it, I havent used knoppix since v3.3
the windows95 logon sound sucks becuase the quality is so low...but if it were high quality i'd use it.
bedouin:
Brian Eno did it . . . that's interesting.
Calum:
well i hate that damn microsoft sound, simply because i hear it literally dozens of times a day (working in installations as i do, within a company that ONLY uses ms windows). my colleagues whistle it to themselves as they work!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAA!!!!
and not just because it's made by microsoft. (because i know we all love microsoft now, i can't wait for a poor misguided windows user to happen along so i can help him fix up his bluescreen of death, as though i don't get enough of that 40 hours a week anyway)
ok?
now after that disclaimer NOBODY has ANY reason to start insulting me and then blaming *me* for derailing the thread.
let alone any of the moderators.
just to take a random example out of thin air for instance.
PS: no, even if you own a windows licence, you cannot copy or distribute files from ms windows. surely you guys have *read* these licences? according to this a copy of microsoft windows 95 does not even qualify you to use ANY microsoft products unless you own a "supported" copy of windows as well, because microsoft changed their licence retroactively.
that's what i love about microsoft, now i'm a convert, oh yes, you guys have shown me the light, how clever of microsoft to make more money this way by simply changing their mind years later! what clever fellows!

That EULA is a "supplemental" EULA, which marks it as the one that comes with "OS components" like IE, WMP, DirectX, etc. The "supported OS" line, IMO, is meant more to stop Linux users from adding these components to emulated Windows than it is to stop Windows 95 users from finding a way to use the pieces of shit.

--- Quote from: WMD ---Not the same thing. They rewrote The Microsoft Sound for 98 or 2000, or something. The one from 95 is much more famous.

The one hosted by Stryker is from Windows 95!!!
