In this song only samples from Windows were used with one little exception which is the kick drum.

If you wonder about some sounds which you might haven't heard yet, these are the sounds I used for this:

From Windows 98:
- Logoff
- Ding
- Musica Menu-Popup
- Musica Critical Error
- Robotz Exit Windows
- Robotz Minimize
- Robotz Restore Up
- Utopia Default
- Utopia Recycle

From Windows 98 Plus!:
- Windows 98 Menu Popup

From Windows XP:
- Ping (this has another name in the english version as far as I know. Got the sound files from the german version)
- Navigation Start
- Minimize
- Balloon
- Battery Low
- Critical Error

From the Vista Beta:
- Low Battery
- Asterisk
- Device Connect
- Device Disconnect

From Windows 7:
- Windows Ding

Just in case you wonder about:
- the Snare drum: It's the Minimize sound from Windows XP on a high pitch.
- the Kick drum: As mentioned above, it's the only non-windows sample in this song. It's a kick drum sample from Roland's TR-909.
- the bass: The Battery Low sounds from Windows XP and Vista have a very deep bass sound in there (which is kinda nonsense since you would probably never notice this on a notebook/tablet speaker which might be the only type of computer where this sound occurs).
- the Hihats: It's the Menu Popup sound from Windows 98 Plus! from its Windows 98 Theme. By the way the Menu Command sound of that theme is an open hihat/cymbal.

Maybe you noticed that I didn't use any Startup sound in here, not even that from WIndows XP which most people like to use in their Windows Remixes. Don't know why, but I think it's not necessary to be in there, as well as the Shutdown sound at the end.

I wonder if I could find a Windows 2000 and/or Windows NT 4.0 PC some day so I could get the sounds from those operating systems as well.

Made with LMMS by the way ;)

Very good.
BTW, "Ping" is "Ding" in english Windows XP version.

Sweet use of Windows Sounds. Like that beat you produced from them! Very, very cool.
