You've heard it once, likely many times. Maybe it reminds you of chatting with your high school friends on MSN Messenger, or perhaps even your childhood. Title.wma is one of the most iconic pieces of music in the realm of computer software. But for years, nobody knew exactly who the creator of it was. In today's video, I'll be discussing the origins of this piece of music, and how its true creator became known years after XP's release.
Dedicated to Stan LePard. Rest in Peace.
