A nice tribute song to a good old Windows XP. The title is self-descriptive – all samples were taken from Windows XP "Media" folder (plus a "ding" sound, which exists since Windows 3.x). There is also a video on YouTube featuring this module – it is a screen capture of ModPlug Tracker (nowadays – OpenMPT) playing this module. If you are interested, you can find the video on YouTube by title "Music using ONLY sounds from Windows XP and 98!".

This module is totally made and given meaning by, of course, the samples it uses. Coupled with the fact that it was a pretty popular video on YouTube many years ago makes it quite a nostalgic listen, at least to me. Besides that, I think the module is well accomplished, nothing seems out of place except the later end of the "Extended" part.
Something else about the YouTube video: I recall it gave me a sense of wonder looking at the tracker (ModPlug) interface in the video, which at the time I had never seen. It also seemed to be running on old Windows NT, so... obviously that was not intended but I believe the visual medium enhanced the listening experience for sure.
