Windows semicolon
XP came and went (sure nobody likes Vista, but how long do you think anyone will have a choice?), but this doesn’t seem to have received enough attention:
A semicolon in Windows XP’s shutdown screen:
The last time a semicolon was sighted, the New York Times made a big fuss of it, and included a baffling comment by Noam Chomsky.
Interesting. When does this appear, BTW? Does it appear on each shutdown?

I think it appears when you have some Windows Updates queued up. I rarely have reason to use Windows, so I don’t really know very well. :)
