I saw Schulman present how he discovered the dirty tricks Microsoft used to hobble Windows betas on DR-DOS, using similar techniques. This was at Ralph Nader's Appraising Microsoft conference in 1997.
It's covered in another of his books, Undocumented Windows.
Impressive work, and very brave at the time.
- lproven 2y agoThis was called the AARD code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code And it was Geoff Chappell, not Andew Shulman. Shulman helped write it up for publication. https://www.geoffchappell.com/notes/windows/archive/aard/index.htm https://www.geoffchappell.com/notes/windows/archive/aard/ind...
