Found an amusing bit of info on a board I check out occasionally.  If you have Windows XP Pro, do this sometime:

  1. Open Notepad
  2. Go to the menu bar in Notepad & pick “File > Open”
  3. In the file type dropdown box, change “txt” to “all files”
  4. Go to the following folder from the open box: “C:\Windows\help\tours\windowsmediaplayer\audio\wav”
  5. Pick one of the wav files & open it.  Wait a moment, it’ll work, trust me.
  6. In the resulting Notepad window you’ll see a bunch of gibberish.  Scroll to the bottom of it.

If you did this right, you should see the following line: “INFOICRD    2000-04-06  IENG       Deepz0ne  ISFT   Sound Forge 4.5″

That’s an embedded info tag that shows what program the file was created in.  “Deepz0ne” is a software cracker, known for having cracked Sound Forge years back.  That this tag shows up here can mean only one thing: Microsoft used the hacked copy.
Keep that in mind next time you go to install an update & Windows gives you that warning about wanting to check if your OS is “genuine”.
