Eyes tired from computer?

Try ClearType hidden in your computer.

Reading from a computer screen has become a part of life.
ClearType is a software technology developed by Microsoft that improves the readability of text on existing LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays), such as laptop screens.
With ClearType font technology, the words on your computer screen look almost as sharp and clear as those printed on a piece of paper.
Below is an example of text with and without ClearType enabled.

Nobody can create a floder named as "con"

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a folder or file anywhere named as "con" This is something pretty cool and unbelievable. At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened?
Try it out yourself !
