This should really be giving Microsoft something to worry about... =)

OTOH, I guess, google is a better help system than most commercial vendor's
help system.
At work, I'm currently working with IBM's z/OS, and it has some really 
/strange/
quirks the docs don't mention at all, like variant characters in EBCDIC that
/IBM's/ proprietary Terminal-emulation is unable to display correctly...
(Then again, it's not exactly a desktop operating system...)

Kind regards,
Benjamin
