Can someone help Microsoft?

For all my computer loving friends


A Pakistani discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the
computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and
unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates,
couldn't answer why this happened ! So, inform about this to all your
friends. TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER

uh... it's actually a command line thing. There are certain words/phrases you cannot use for naming files since they conflict with base names for primary processes. Con being one of them. It's pretty much impossible that Microsoft wouldnt know that.

I tried aliasing a field in oracle as date and it did not allowed me that, then I contacted Larry Ellison and he
was so thankful to me on this bug-tracking and reporting that he will give me his personal jet on my coming birthday :).
