i remember getting my first laptop, i dropped it, everything was okay besides the screen, that was broke. i had to hook it up to a different monitor, when i turned it on and heard this song my mind was just blown everywhere. haha, good times :)
Finally, a video that doesn't call this "The Hidden Windows XP Song". It was never secret or hidden, it was the installation song for the OS if you didn't do a full format and install.
@dwittman426 Meh, its still an awesome OS. I am running windows 7 right now (I couldn't get my family's old dell running for the life of me) and I honestly think its DECENT. Could be better, ;)
This was written by brian eno, so was ascent, which is the song at the end of the movie traffic before the credits roll. To think that this guy started out doing stuff like "Baby's on fire...better throw her in the wata" and he ends up doing this.
I think 2014 is a reasonable date for retirement. 14 years of the same OS being supported? Impressive. It beats Apples longest, Mac OS System 7 from 1990-1998.
Windows 2000 was discontinued last June. A bit early, 2000 and XP share a very similar codebase.
A random fact: Windows 3.1 was still sold as recently as last year but with no support. For OEMs to put on cash registers or something.
@igonnagetfsx Yea... But still, that technically means dead in the world of tech... I still remember even Windows 98! I was using that when I was 1 years old!
@igonnagetfsx I miss 98 even more. And I like 95, but I never got to use 95 myself, I just watched my Dad use 95 when I was only months old, and I remember it!
WHO MADE THIS?! I got XP the year it came out and my computer did not sound drivers, so I heard this song in my first installation and fell in love with it. WHO THE FUCK IS THE ARTIST!?
@FireViper13 It's best edition of older widndows, newer than XP, and older than Vista, it failed soo much so microsoft didin't finish it :( , but anyway, its amazing :)
@wanjunji of course, apple doesn't like anything that involves Microsoft. they would've been fine with you blasting the mac start up sound. just go back and jailbreak all the iPods and iphones. and change the homepages to windows ant the background to the windows logo, they would enjoy that
@techdude154 Then how come they allow windows to be installed on the mac legally? and microsoft office has been on macs for years. I'm not a fan boy but back up your statements with facts.
@techdude154 I don't think it was because it was a Windows song, i think it was the fact he was playing loud music in the store causing a disturbance. i bet if you hooked up an ipod to one of the home systems, maxed up the volume and played any song you would be told to leave for being a disturbance.
I love this song. It was a nice warm welcome to Windows XP. This song relaxes me so much. If only they would have done it again. I already miss the Bill Gates era of Microsoft.
@StevenShields29 u want me to re-word okay ill reword what U SAID is nasty and it could be lil kids on this page and this is an microsoft song not an sex song u must be mentally reatarded
So relaxing. I was one of those people which never got to listen to this, due to the driver thingy. Maybe the chance was higher, if you had a preinstalled system or a laptop, which had manufacturer-altered drivers, that it play right out-of-the-box.
This song made me feel confident, even for such a big, commercial product like Windows. Stupid Microsoft, I am usually satisfied with (K)ubuntu, but as I like to play some games, Windows 7 is the way to go. It remedied a lot of Vista's failures.
@canofpopproductions Thats because the intelligent windows system usally does not have the sound drivers installed when installing windows, It does play but it rarely does so.
@Davetacular45 I would simply say 'electronica' since this pretty much is an experimental song made with electronic synthesizers.... if you want more that sounds similar to this song then you should check out Robot Science or C148 ;)
:') This is the most peaceful song I have ever heard. XP was the best Windows OS ever invented. Thank you Microsoft in 2001, Thank You for Windows XP. And thank you for Windows XP Second/Server version, Windows Sever 2003.
