Lush, optimistic and uplifting new age/neo-classical tunes composed by Bill Brown which probably cost an arm and a leg to produce... all for an operating system with the reliability of a Vauxhall Corsa and the design aesthetic of a Little Tikes car. It could only be a Microsoft thing... but at least it's not Windows 11. (I'm more of a 10 man myself, or Vista if you want to get into the classics.)

The following tracks were composed for the built-in animated Flash tour of Windows XP, obviously pre-installed as a "futuristic" gimmick. If you aren't using this as muzak to study/chill out to, a fun sideline is trying to count how many times the compositions line up with Windows XP's system event sounds: I heard the "critical error" sound that us of a certain age all know and "love" (!) several times, along with the sound for email notifications and the strings from the "switch users" sounds.

00:00 - Introduction ("Welcome to Windows XP...")
00:45 - Windows XP Basics
02:18 - The Connected Home and Office
03:50 - Unlock the World of Digital Media
05:24 - Safe and Easy Personal Computing
06:57 - Best for Business
