An aticle in Tech Server finds out that MS have putted a small trick
in Windows 98 when working with Word or Excell, that tag the user with
a serial number. The idea is that when you use the registeration wizard,
your info is been sent to MS and you received an ID number. Then that
number is later written in every word and/or excel file you create
after getting the ID. This way, MS can locate the authors of the
Word and Excell files from their user data-base. MS claim they did not
knew about this, and if this is happening, then it has to be a bug.
Some bug. Its intresting how a programming mis-type causes both Word and
Excell to put the number into these files so efficently.. :P
