Trust me, you don't.  It's been proven to cause brain damage in lab mice, temporary blindness in chimpanzees, and acute arythmia of the left ventricle in the Malaysian Wandering Grue-necked Fruit Bat.

Sounds fresh. I don't see what's so bad about it. It's my startup sound now!
(I'm not being sarcastic)

edit: oh no, now I hate it becuase it's owned by ms. :rolleyes: not.

I need to get that to be my login sound, and get my iBook buddy to do the same, if only for the delicious irony.  :D

I do have one actually. When I was 13, Windows 95 SE came with my computer, with the license.

Not the same thing.  They rewrote The Microsoft Sound for 98 or 2000, or something.  The one from 95 is much more famous.
