A History of Windows Sounds

I don't think any sound has been quite so well recognized as the Windows startup and shutdown sounds... which, I suppose, is why some individual decided to post this video on YouTube, documenting all the various sounds from Windows 3.11 (the empirical sounding, "ta-da!") to present-day Windows Vista, which has a much more tubular zen sound (thankfully). If remixes are what you're into, check out this Vista remix or an XP one... as a friend so aptly put it, they really get going around the middle.
