yup, you found it. If you want a depth information, you should email Bill Gate for an interview. You probaly have free software and lunch/dinner in the end.

if MS has its museum, you can go there and find out too

or use google to search for information.

anyway, good luck with your research. Please let us know what you find out. Bad or Good. We love to hear from you
