What is a myth, that Microsoft disabled the AARD code? :P The AARD code is indeed *not* a myth, it was very real, it was just disabled for the final release, according to Wikipedia. That said, I clearly recall some Microsoft program not running on our old DR-DOS system back in the day, can't recall if it was Windows or Word (I'm sure it must have been one of those two), but it definitely complained about our DOS not being good enough, which was completely bogus. In many respects DR-DOS was much better than MS DOS, and it was fully capable of running the MS software, despite the bogus claim of said software. The AARD code may have been disabled, but it wasn't the only piece of malicious code they used. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
