NickTheGreek Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Well, look at what somebody can discover by accident !Open a new browser window, and type http// followed by ANYTHING you want !!!This is of course an error because the syntax is : http:// but when you type http// instead, you got to The Microsoft Web site...Many peple may have noticed that but it just occured to mew today, thought this is amazing ( i mean, how much do they have to pay for that ? ) and wantd to share...They did it to make sure that whoever types http//: by accient instead of the correct one http:// will go to THEIR SITE.:wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
