Three Things That Microsoft Can't Explain About Their Operating System by Collinz2(m): 3:18pm On Sep 20, 2014
MAGIC #1

Found that nobody can create a
FOLDER anywhere on the
Computer which can be named as CON. This is something funny and
inexplicable?
At Microsoft the whole Team,
couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE
A "CON" FOLDER.
After Trying it, I thought it's
Impossible to Create a Folder with 3
letters but i was able to create many
Folders with just 3 letters but CON,
No way.


MAGIC #2

Again this is something funny and
can't be explained? At Microsoft the
whole Team, including Bill
Gates, couldn't answer why this
happened! It was discovered by a
Brazilian Programmer.
Try it out yourself. Open Microsoft
Word and type =rand(200,99) And
then press ENTER, Wait and see the
magic!
Is this a Bug or What??

MAGIC #3

Am sure you all know that a flight
number from one of the planes that
hit one of the two WTC towers in U.S
by Osama on 9/11 was Q33N. In Microsoft
Word, type that flight number i.e Q33N. Increase the font size to 72
then Change the font to Wingdings,
You will be amazed by the Findings,
You should see the Picture of a Plane,
2 Tower Building and a Symbol
meaning Danger..
This has actually
been in existence even before the
Incident... Microsoft should be able to
explain this.
Am sure by now, You should be
looking for your PC/Laptop to Try
them Out..

When you paste =rand(200,99) in microsoft word,you get a long hass document...How something as short as =rand(200,99) gets you over 500 pages of documents is an absolute marvel..

Wow some freaky stuff! Tried it all and #2 544 pages of commands codes or something else I can't even understand.

Freaky and amazing at the same time...

Tried all 3 of them, and they did exactly what the OP said.. Number 2 gave me 567 pages of text that I don't have time to start reading... Maybe on the 450th page one would find how Bill Gates truly made his money grin grin


That number 3 is quite mysterious... If it's coincidence, then it's one of the freakiest coincidences I've seen in recent times.

VERY VERY old gist

https://www.nairaland.com/975916/3-things-microsoft-cannot-explain

1)Con
Just try creating a file/folder with a name “con” (without the quotes #obvious).
RESULT: You won’t be able to do that, its not possible

The same thing happens when you try these names : PRN, LPT1, LPT2, (…), LPT9, NUL, COM1, (…), COM9, and CLOCK$




2)Notepad Bug
As far as I know,this bug works only in windows XP ,still you can give it a try.

Open your notepad, type in “Bush hid the facts” ,save the file with any name you like, close it.
Reopen the file, this will be the view.
