Microsoft has revealed a crazy story about the time a song dropped laptops with Windows XP. The song in question is Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson και προφανώς, περιέχει μια από τις φυσικές συχνότητες συντονισμού των σκληρών δίσκων 5400 RPM (HDD), κάτι που είναι πολύ feature on laptops even today.
However, Microsoft hadn't announced what the frequencies were and this is very hard to pin down as hard drives vibrate between 0 and 5.000 Hz, although they exist as we know them today and some have peaks at 12,5, 87,5 , 1100, 1450, 1700, or 1850 Hz.
To fix the problem, the hard drive manufacturers had to add a filter for the specific frequencies to avoid such problems.
Above is the song for you to listen to, but hold back before you click the reproduction in case you are still using a Windows XP computer.
