Not even by a long shot - even among Microsoft startup sounds. In the grand scheme of things, Windows 95 was a significant but brief blip for less than 3 years when PCs were still a growing niche. Likely the Windows 98 and ME/2000 sounds played a lot more times given their longevity.
- ggm 4y agoGiven the longevity of the chord-sequence in its re-interpretations, I think the Mac startup sound has more legs on it, but we mac owners reboot less frequently than windows pC owners... the ^G VT100 beep is probably it, for all the vi mashers who hit ESC to get back to command mode from insert mode.
