Magic of Microsoft Bugs

[astrovineet]

Dear Friends.. Lets find out Magic or bugs as found on the products of Microsoft by some of my friends on net...


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.

MAGIC #3
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER
Then see the magic...

That's the beauty of Microsoft - it's so good until its own developers cannot understand why

There is a historical reason for CON not allowed for filenames.

In MS-DOS, CON and PRN are special device names for the console
and the Print device. If you give the command

copy filename PRN

The file is printed out, and it does not create a filename as CON

Therefore CON and PRN are not allowed as filenames.
