Windows XP hates President Bush! Have you seen this strange trick?


Good morning fellow conspiracy nuts and lovers of all things strange... This interesting little tidbit is a Windows XP, 2000 or NT only trick. If you open up Notepad on your system and create a document that contains the phrase "Bush hid the facts" and save it with any filename. I chose Paranoia.txt.


Now try and re-open the document. And you will see something that looks like the following.

Is this a Snarky Microsoft political comment? Probably not seeming that "Bill fed the goats" or even "hhhh hhh hhh hhhhh" brings about the same garbage. If the file is saved as "Unicode" rather than the default "ANSI" then the text displays correctly.

This does not happen on Vista, so maybe the Feds got to Redmond already... Or maybe it's a XP (GASP) Bug?

We just don't know! Anyone out there really know why this combination of 4,3,3,5 does this?

"Karl led the users" saves properly and it fits the pattern.
