I don't remember this at all because I changed all the system sounds. Why have chimes when you can have The Tick saying, "SPOON!"
I had one 'Yeah' from Yeah! for going through my start menu, and a different Yeah for when a program was selected. It was awesome.
Does the technology exist to do this today?
Probably, but I find user interfaces now don't really have you go hunting through multiple dropdown menus, so it doesn't hit the same.
