I have a friend (a Macintosh guy) who's an expert on strange things showing 
up on MS's sites... like there's the time they said Microsoft NT 4.0 has 
"ten's of thousands of bugs" (One of the 10 reasons one should upgrade to one 
of the NT 5.0 Beta releases)  Mostly I don't bother repeating them, but today 
he sent me this gem...

"Your password must be at least 18770 characters long and cannot repeat any 
of your previous 30689 passwords."

Wow.

Apparant error message from Windows 2000 - see
