Bugs in Microsoft

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) A
nd then press ENTER
Then see the magic...............................

EXPLANATION

Magic #1: It's not true that MS can't answer this. CON is a reserved word. Back in the old DOS days they had "reserved words" which were used as commands in the old DOS prompt and cannot be used to label folders (then called "directories"). Other reserved words (I think) you can't use for folder names: format lpt1 copy dir md rd cd

Magic #2It's a bug! Read on: http://www.hoax-slayer.com/bush-hid-the-facts-notepad.html

Magic #3It's a trick used by the Office developers to quickly fill up documents with "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." The first number is the number of paragraphs, the 2nd number is the number of times the "quick brown fox" sentence is typed. So =rand(1,2) will produce one paragraph with 2 quick brown fox sentences. =rand(200,99) makes 200 paragraphs of 99 quick brown fox sentences.
