See the Bugs/Magics in Microsoft software....

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...

Hi,

(1) "Con" (which stands for console) is one of several reserved system names that cannot be used in naming folders or files. Try creating a new folder and naming it CON (in upper or lower case). You will see that you cannot. The folder name will keep reverting to "New Folder". Other words that cannot be used for folder or file names are: AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL.

(2) It is a bug intentionally given by Microsoft to generate dummy text. For example: =rand(n,m) where n – number of paragraphs, and m – number of sentences.
=rand(1,2) – 1 paragraph with 2 sentences
=rand(3,5) – 3 paragraphs with 5 sentences.
