WINDOWS LONGHORN SOUNDS DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS 7 KEYGEN

High for the shutdown version, as most would not likely be expecting the sudden whoosh, which is re-used.īackground: Neptune was to be Microsoft's next-generation operating system targeted at home users.

Scare Factor: None for the start-up version, as it is very soothing and very tame, compared to its shutdown counterpart. Some, however, like build 1978, are mentioned in Google Groups discussions. The rest of the builds are presumed lost at this time. The next leaked build, 1983, introduced a new startup screen. Seen from version to at most (or possibly ). Music/Sounds Trivia: Builds 1983-2000 have both the final startup and shutdown sound, but noticeably re-arranged.Īvailability: Extremely rare. Shutdown Sound (Music/Sounds): A somewhat creepy sound effect. Much more pleasant than the original startup sound, and its shutdown sound. Startup Sound (Music/Sounds): The same beeping arpeggio from Windows NT 5.0's The Microsoft Sound, but faster and high-pitched, and backed by a chorus pad. Underneath the now-still gradient bar, the words "It is now safe to turn off your computer." appear in a gray area.įX/SFX: The gradient bar moving, the "download bar" incrementing.

The Microsoft logo is absent from the upper right corner, replacing it with a navy blue bar. Shutdown Variant: A dialog box, with a slightly somewhat rearranged positioning of the above elements. Still underneath that are the words "Starting up." To the right of the words is the all-too-familiar "download bar." This entire box is surrounded by a black border. Underneath the graphics is a gradient blue bar that continually moves to the right. The Microsoft logo appears in the upper right corner of the white portion of this box. Underneath that is the words "Windows2000." Still underneath that is the word "Professional" in a slightly smaller font. "Microsoft" appears in the lower-left corner of the clouds in a small font. Clouds are seen in the upper center, and a dark green two-tone inset square is seen in the lower right next to a gray trail. On the left-center, a pale two-tone inset orange box is seen. The Windows logo appears surrounded by a partial orange square border in the upper left. Screen: On a blue background (same color as the desktop), a dialog box type screen is seen. The visual and sound elements, however, continued to evolve. Windows NT 5.0 (Beta 3 onwards) (1997-2000)īackground: From version onwards, "Windows NT 5" donned its new and more familiar name, Windows 2000. The sudden startup noise on a blank desktop is more than enough to startle someone. Scare Factor: Low to high for the startup. Builds known to be available of NT 5 are build 1729 (the Interim Developer's Release), build 1877 (Beta 2), build 1902 (Beta 2), and build 1906 (Beta 2), among other earlier and later builds that may or may not have this specific startup. Windows NT 5 releases were originally only available to participants of Microsoft's beta testing programs, but copies of certain builds have since leaked to the beta community.
"Beta 1/2/3 etc." and "Evaluation Copy" are placed on the side. The only exception is that 4.0 is replaced with 5.0. Screen: Just the Windows logo on a nighttime background like the one in the NT Workstation 4.0 startup, with all of the text. Windows NT 5.0 start up sound (High Quality) Nicknames: "The Most Interesting Way To Start Your Computer Experience" WARNING: The sounds used in this startup are very loud, so please turn down your volume before watching the video. While early test builds of Windows NT 5 were very similar to Windows NT 4, they gradually began to develop their own visual and sound elements. The name was changed to "Windows 2000" in Beta 3 (around version to be specific). The boot screen used in Windows NT 5.0 between builds 18.īackground: "Windows NT 5.0" was the original in-development name for Windows 2000.
