    I always wonder what is the reason behind these microsoft tricks ! :confused:

    MAGIC #1

    An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
    TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER


    MAGIC #2
    For those of you using Windows, do the following:

    1.) Open an empty notepad file
    2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
    3.) Save it as whatever you want.
    4.) Close it, and re-open it.

    is it just a really weird bug? :-??


    MAGIC #3
    microsoft crazy facts


    This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!

    It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself...

    Open Microsoft Word and type

    =rand (200, 99)

    And then press ENTER
    then see the magic...............................

    AND TRY THIS: GOTO NOTEPAD
    TYPE "Q33N". NOW CHANGE THE FONT SIZE TO 72 AND CHANGE THE FONT TO "WINGDINGS".
    NOW SEE THE MAGIC. FOR 11/9 WTC ATTACK, THE PLANES THAT CRASHED-ONE HAD THE NUMBER "Q33N".
    NOW IF YOU WILL TRY TYPING Q33N AFTER FONT CHANGING IT WONT WORK

    though i am a staunch supporter of linux,...i don say these are bugs...CON refers to standard input of WindowsXP...So when you try to create one folder it says the folder name is too big(as it consists of entire standard input).....The next one is due to the encoding mistake in it........
    3rd one is an Easter egg introduced in that program by the programmer,it was just for fun :)......
