Just curious, i know that other versions of Office have contained easter eggs, i thought perhaps XP might as well...

easter eggs? I think the mere fact that it works without crashing is an easter egg in itself.

umm, Offce for win3.1 didn't crash for me, office 95 didn't, office 97 didn't, and neither did office 2000. but maybe that's just me :confused: or do some still assume anything from MS just BSOD's every 5 minutes?

Kami, it's not that we assume things from MS will crash, it's that we've come to expect it given their track record. All the office versions have had misc &quot;issues&quot;....

I attended the MS &quot;Xtreme&quot; presentation last month (live from Redmond broadcast all around the country and the world). While doing the presentation of Office XP , one presenter had Excel &quot;hang&quot;, and had to end the application through the task manager. Embarassing to say the least ;)

ha, sort of like the time when Bill presented Win98's USB feature and it BSOD'ed on him.

Yes, change more than a few pieces of hardware and a cool message will come up. Try it yourself...
