Did you know that if you play the 98 cd backwards it givesout satanic messages?
And whats worse, playing it forwards will install 98!!!

Clever.

Thanks!

Im not sure who wrote it, a friend told me it, I think it *may* be him but I'm not sure

I think its worthy of an anti mirosoft entry!

There are far too many bad anti-microsoft entries. What we really need a good, well researched, semi-impartial Anti-microsoft entry!

I see it as a sophisticated satire on Microsoft itself.
The entries, like MS products are hastily thrown together with many omissions and inaccuracies.

But one good entry could get approval... maybe... if the duolith isn't properly formed yet... and I bribe someone.

I wonder - how many lawyers does Micro$oft employ?

I'll be willing to contribute some agro, 98 is the reason I have been offline for so long!

I've emailed microsoft about lawyer numbers, and I'll give you the URL they gave me:

Seems as if they're still using Windows 3.1...

Just remembered: got Windows 2000 to crash fatally (not difficult). It seems they wrote it in Microsoft C++... it gave me an Abnormal Program Termination when I doubled clicked the little W icon to close... it seems they don't like you turning Word off...

To put it bluntly.
