Like, I just found out - but apparently it's quite old.
Just open a new notepad file, write 'bush hid the facts' (without the quotes) and save that with any name you desire. Upon opening the newly created file, omg win xp bug!
For those of you who don't know it, apparently by typing some string of words of 4 - 3 - 3 - 5 characters it'll give you some error, mainly because when you save the file, you'll save it as ansii character, and when you open the file, you open with the standard unicode char set

That's the first really good chuckle I've had today.

Save it as something, I used moo. Then open it up, write bush hid the facts, save it again, close, open it up.

Different, but quite similar to mine, though I used the phrase "Bush hid the drugs" which may account for the differences.

Theres other things like that:
try typing q33 ny (flight number that crashed into twin towers) in word and changing it to wingdings.
Also try typing soi in speech properties where you can make the computer talk.

Translations:
In simple chinese:
"?????????"
In Japanese:
"畢? ? 摩? ? Projection? ?"
In Korean:
"Pil? ? ? ? ?"

Wrong. while that does give funky output, Q33 NY was not one of the flight numbers

Apparently the text gets translated into Chinese or something. I haven't tried it out though, I'm currently on a computer that has Vista.

I'm a little confused. How is this even supposed to be anti-Bush? To me, it seems that it would be more pro-Bush as it seeks to hide the statement "Bush hid the facts." :confused:
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
