Good old-fashioned trivia: Who is he and what is his claim to fame?

Cracked by Goyal , Rohan , udupendra , Debasish , jayanth , varuns88 and rajeshvj.

Answer

Brian Eno, creator of the (in)famous Windows 95 startup sound. Some missed out the second part, but i’m feeling generous :)

    Brian Eno - Claim to fame “Joshua Tree - U2″ & “Viva la Vida - Coldplay”

    What I don’t understand is the connection of the title of the question and relation to tech? (other than the electronic synthesizer)

  2. Rohan Says:

    Brian eno, windows theme

  3. udupendra Says:

    That is Brian Eno, and he has many claims to fame, all of them musical.

    But on boiledbeans, I’d say you are referring to the Windows start up sound.

    Are you guys looking for the ‘disgraceful’ MS Windows 95 Startup sound ?
