@arrowhead5543, Guess where i found it? On my Windows 8 Developer Preview. Next month the beta will appear, so i hope it's still there.

@ThisIs2009 there's also IE4CHAN.MID on Windows 98 First Edition disks which is another version of FLOURISH but shorter to promote MSN
-
@JUSXTREME96, Oh, DXDiag.midi. That one was the BOMB.

@RWL2011 I use Windows 2000 on my used laptop which came with XP but XP was going too slow after a few hours so I put 2000 and it runs great with everything I need. It comes with those old classical music MIDI files from Windows 95 and it is just a bit of a faster version of XP but without the Themes and other junk.

@JUSXTREME96 good point, i only tried 2000 on my own PC (along with vista) for the first time briefly in 2010

@RWL2011 Canyon and Passport can always be heard on Wavetable Synth on Windows 2000.
-
@SonicTheJackrabbit i remember it sounding similar but not the same, haven't heard it for years!
-
@GreenGiantShit terrible? this is how it would sound on an old SoundBlaster 16 card with the Yamaha OPL3 FM hardware synth (Windows 3.1 / 95 / 98) - since modern machines have software wavetable synthesis, and these tunes are from XP, we wouldn't normally hear them like this so this is just to satisfy people's curiosity!
You can look at it the other way too, canyon and passport wouldn't normally be heard in wavetable synthesis...

@JUSXTREME96 that's it :-) i knew it was called something like that but i was struggling to remember. thanks!

flourish is based on the "hidden" (not even found in the Media folder) tune in Windows 98, so not much of a surprise there, but still kinda funny like the other two :-)
