I'm having trouble getting Mozilla to crash with those links. Is it a bug with my browser?

:D
Non IE users will have to crash their monitors manually I'm afraid. Although the first link should work if you enable popups, it's just a flash movie.

Funny thing: the second link is a result of the stupidest bug in IE. It's just a html file with

Code: Select all

<input type crash>
in it.
It even crashes Outlook (Express) if you put in an e-mail.
Three simple words, and MS can't handle it anymore...

Problably this is just a easter egg from Microsoft, so that they easily could put computers to crash...

No no, they're called "marketing strategies"

I didn't realise Microsoft needed to DELIBERATELY include commands to crash computers, I thought they did that without trying... ::)

Go on click it then, it's just a joke reboot, a flash movie making you think you are rebooting, nothing serious.

They didn't deliberately put in, in fact, if you replace the word crash with any other word, IE will still crash. It's the lack = that makes it crash. The real question is how they got away with this bug for years and years without anybody noticing it.

If nobody noticed it, how would jokes like this made?
