MAGIC #1
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
This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable. ..
At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!
Try it out yourself...
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
and then press ENTER
MAGIC #3
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?
You can try the same thing above with another sentence "this app can break"

Microsoft Team in 1987 and in 2008
Tomorrow is Bill Gates’ last day at Microsoft in a full-time position. It’s what he’s known for the last several decades.
In 1978, when Microsoft was three years old and based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, there were only a dozen people working for the company - compared with the current number of almost 90 000 employees worldwide.
Here we have 11 of the early pioneers, in a photograph that has evolved from a snapshot to become a historic document.
Recently the gang (even though all of them but Gates have left Microsoft) got back together for a reunion, and a new picture was taken.
All are pictured in the updated picture except Bob Wallace who died in 2002 (back row, middle in the original), and they are all standing in the same spots. They managed to emerge out of the 70’s pretty well, didn’t they?
It was definitely a smart thing for them to get together and re-take the picture, because now it will be even more memorable.

Little-Known Facts About Well-Known Leaders - Bill Gates
Little-Known Facts About Well-Known Leaders - Bill Gates
William Henry Gates was born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington, USA.
His father William was a corporate lawyer, and his mother Mary was a schoolteacher.
By the age of 17, Gates had sold his first computer program, a time-tabling system for his high school, for $4,200.
Gates scored 1590 on his SAT standardized test. The top score for the test is 1600.
Gates told his university teachers he would be a millionaire by age 30. He became a billionaire at age 31.
While at Harvard, Gates co-wrote Altair BASIC, which became Microsoft's (then called Micro-Soft) first product.
He met his wife, Melinda French, in 1987 at a Microsoft press event in Manhattan while she was a worker for the company. They would go on to get married on New Years Day in 1994.
In 2002, Bill Gates was considered more idolized than Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-tung in a poll of teenagers in Hong Kong and China. The survey was conducted by the City University of Hong Kong.
In 2005, Gates was honored with the title Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II of England.
As of the March 2007 issue of Forbes magazine, Bill Gates has been listed as Number 1 on "Forbes' Richest People" list for 13 years in a row. His current net worth is about $56 billion.
Gates has recently announced that he will be reducing his involvement at Microsoft and will be devoting more time to his charity work.
He is currently having a building named after him at Carnegie Mellon University, called the Gates Building of Computer Science.
Gates is the current owner of the Codex Leicester — a 72-page collection of Leonardo da Vinci's scientific writings. The writings are a mixture of observations on water properties, astronomy, and rocks and fossils. Gates puts the Codex on public display once a year in a different city around the world.
Bill Gates earns $250 every SECOND; that's about $20 million a DAY and $7.8 billion a YEAR!
If he drops a thousand-dollar bill, he needn't even bother to pick it up because in the four seconds it would take him to pick it up, he would've already earned it back.

General Motors reply on Bill Gates comment
General Motors reply to Bill Gates
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release Stating:
"If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics " :
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would ! run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed an Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. "
Never undervalue the manufacturing & automobile industries

Patron: Waiter!
Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem?
Patron: There's a fly in my soup!

Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.
Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of bowl are you using?
Patron: A SOUP bowl!
Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up?
Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?!
Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?
Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!
