    LOL no it wasn't !

    This isn't something you'll find on their history page or anything, but back in the early days, When Microsoft was getting ready to go public with their website, someone accidentally sat on a keyboard, and published the un-finished, not ready, un-tested version of their first website, BY SITTING ON THE KEYBOARD!

    I always thought it was funny, given Microsoft's History, that their first web site was published with someone's ass. Which is apparently where a lot of their desktop OSs came from

    Where did you read that gore? I tried searching for it, but couldn't find anything.

    I think there used to be a link to it on Wiki, but the only reason I knew it was legit was that at the time, it was hosted on their main Microsoft.com page for a very short while like 5 years or more ago. I think I posted it here once but I really don't remember. I haven't found it since, so it's probably been taken down.

    I used to have a copy saved because it was to good to let go of, but I lost some back ups a while back.

    If I do run across it again I'll post it on here + a screen shot which is another thing they've admitted they probably wouldn't now:

    I once saw a screen shot of Microsoft.com saying that Windows NT 4 servers should ALL be rebooted every 6 weeks or so to fix memory leaks. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it myself. I don't have the screen shot of course, but you can probably google that particular one.

    There is a "certain web site" that used to have a copy of the screen shot, but, you can't google it, can't search for it, and the F word is in the name so it won't show up on here anyway:

    ****microsoft.com or something like that. You can guess the part it's going to edit out
