XP for me, although, like Eyeball Kicks, I suspect this is less about the sound, and more about positive feelings toward the golden era of mid-2000s computing.

i associate the xp sound with the speaker/headphone volume being too loud and scaring me/hurting my ears. the best ones start quiet and get louder like 95.

vista usually crashes before I get to the startup sound

Windows 2000 is pretty. My first laptop had it but I don't remember that sound at all.

3.1 sucks, just like the OS itself.

I like the vista sound! I'd never heard it before.
