Microsoft wants you to relax before Windows 11 launch with new startup sound
India Today
Microsoft is bringing the next version of Windows on June 24.
Microsoft is holding the Windows 11 event on June 24, and it, for some reason, thinks that you cannot contain the excitement over the arrival of the next-generation Windows. For that very reason, Microsoft has released an 11-minute video on YouTube to help you relax. The video has a collection of startup sounds from different Windows versions, all slowed down by 4,000 per cent. So, when you speed up the video, you can hear a new startup sound that I think is what you will hear on Windows 11. “Having trouble relaxing because you’re too excited for the June 24th Microsoft Event?” Microsoft asked in the YouTube video caption. “Take a slow trip down memory lane with the Windows 95, XP, and 7 startup sounds slowed down to a meditative 4,000 percent reduced speed.” Windows 11 is definitely happening. There are several pieces of evidence pointing to that. This new YouTube video that Microsoft wants you to listen to is also 11 minutes. The June 24 event will begin at 11 am PT. These two themselves are good enough to be considered a hint for Windows 11. During the recent Build 2021 conference, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that the June 24 event is meant for the next generation of Windows. And this, too, means Windows 11 is coming out later this month, although the actual release may take some time.
