What song does Windows drop?

Microsoft has revealed a crazy story about the time when a song dropped Windows XP laptops. The song in question is Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation and apparently, it contains one of the natural resonant frequencies of 5400 RPM hard disk drives (HDDs), which is very common in laptops even today.

However, Microsoft had not announced what the frequencies were and this is very difficult to track down, as the hard ones they 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, hard drive manufacturers had to add a frequency-specific filter to avoid such .

Above is the song for you to listen to, but hold back before you do on the play button in case te still computer with Windows XP.
