On August 12th Microsoft said it plans to disclose 385 bits of computer code and internal operating rules, previously kept secret, that outside software developers can use to write programs to run on Windows.

 

here they are:

1111001111011100011100001110001110000111010101010001010

 

I am sure now all the developers in the world will code better software.

Hey that info may have a virus! I count 410 bits instead of 385

 

(and no, I did NOT count every single one ... there are easier ways!)

Azat has added his touch to it with 25 bits.

[Azat]

Oh God, only you would count that.

I wasn't going to ... seriously! I just couldn't understand why MS would put out an ODD number of bits of info and why there was a full WORD missing from the end. Then I got even more confused when I saw it was 6 lines ... 6 lines of anything cannot be an ODD number. So I just copy-pasted it in Word and looked up the number of characters (yah, I know, I am turning off the computer right now).
