Windows 95 is now considered culturally significant
The U.S. Library of Congress has inducted the Windows 95 startup sound into the National Recording Registry.

Windows 95 is a fairly iconic piece of software in itself due to the fact that it's the first Windows 9x release, along with its advancements including an emphasis on graphical user interfaces (GUIs), offering plug-and-play services through Device Manager, support for long file names, and being the first version of Windows to eventually pack the first release of Internet Explorer. Another iconic element of the operating system is its welcoming startup sound, which the United States Library of Congress (LoC) has now decided to add to the National Recording Registry (NRR).
