For anybody who, like me, suddenly wants to hear the music from the XP OOBE (and with some fun background about the piece): https://archive.org/details/stan-lepard-velkommen-song-pack-...

What makes it so surreal is the intro starts out almost as an extension of the intimately familiar Windows XP startup sound (of course, the same person, Bill Brown, composed The Tour music). If you've never heard it before, or are only just young enough to be familiar with the startup sound, it might seem like some lost never-was artifact, an extension of the Windows XP branding you never knew about.
However that would also make you an ignorant fool for failing to be alive or aware of the majesty of The Tour at the time it was released. Thankfully I was blessed by god and his son, William Gates III, with the privilege of being an XP user shortly after it was released. To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The Windows XP Tour.
