It was removed from Microsoft code too. This is an old snapshot of the code, almost two decades old.
Since the 2002 TWC initiative, anything from easter eggs to things like that are all very strongly banned, and actively get removed as they're discovered.
- skee0083 6y agoNot surprising. No fun is allowed anywhere anymore. just dull flat interfaces with grey and black colors. people can say what they want about windows xp and vista but they had soul. todays OSes are souless. Looking at you windows 10..

- sterlind 6y agoI dunno. I certainly keep my comments family-friendly and clear, but these comments resemble my own in their dry wit. I also use emojis as icons in internal tools, since they don't require finding images, but this had the side effect of people reporting "sad cat" errors and the like.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoWhat is TWC?
- EE84M3i 6y agoTrustWorthy Computing. In this context it refers to the early 2000s memo/paradigm shift at Microsoft as well as the now-defunct centralized infosec group.
- netsharc 6y agoAfaik easter eggs got banned because MS wanted to gain certification for government/military use, and in order to get that, all functions/features must be documented and previously specified.. But a bit of googling shows it was part of TWC: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/larryosterman/why-no-easter-eggs https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/larryosterman...
- dkersten 6y agoI assume in the modern day of git and code review on commit diffs, its harder to slip things in than it was in the 90's.
- chris_wot 6y agoI wasn't aware of this.
