The OOBE is what happens at the very end of the operating system
installation. You get the "let's set up your computer" screens,
accompanied by the soothing music (if your soundcard drivers have been
automatically installed). The music stops your rapid breathing and
calms you from the trauma of the OS install. Or not.

Well that was an Experience I'll always remember. Date to the second day
and Year. The OOBE. Whoa buddy. Well I guess if they have to come up with
something that describes the desktop after an initial install probably a 4yr
Marketing degreee is what is called for. OOBE.
