Hey kids, check this out. Micro$oft recently put up a bunch of
web servers dedicated to Win95 things. They have names like
www.windows.microsoft.com, download.windows.microsoft.com, etc.
There's apparently a bunch of them set up in a round-robin DNS
rotation. Curiously, telnetting to them reveals this:
[/homes/wpaul]:startide{878}% telnet www.windows.microsoft.com
Trying 192.216.191.50...
Connected to www.windows.microsoft.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

Connected to download.windows.microsoft.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

Kinda makes you think, don't it.
I still keep hoping that one day I'll find a machine in their
domain with a FreeBSD login banner.
