Amazing MS Windows Bug

[jaeger]

Big deal, di nyo siguro alam na may 8" floppy disk! Hahaha.

Before 5.25", there was an 8" floppy. And now even the 3.5" is almost dead.

pucha, buking mga elderly at geriatric ah.

ang una kong company pc - IBM PC orig - wala pang hard disk noon tapos may dalawang 5.25-in. floppy drive . . . . and that was it ! pero may windows na . . . na super bagal . . . . kaya DOS ang gamit kasi mabilis! (Lotus 1-2-3 and WordStar) If I'm not mistaken 4.17 mHz lang speed ng processor noon, ngayon gigahertz na.

No. But if you are absolutely clueless about computer stuffs, you might.

I'm already sick about all the bogus claims on the internet. Now that you know that this CON issue is not a bug, you should now try to focus on why people have to make up a story about an "ignorant Microsoft and Bill Gates" so that the story will sell. I think that's where this thread is heading now, since we already know everything about this CON thing by now and there's nothing more to talk about that.

Did you read the error message when you try to create a folder named CON?

It says "Cannot Create or Replace File: The file you specified is INVALID or too long. Specify a different file name."

Why can I create a folder named CON etc. using another DOS Command named "mkdir" if they are INVALID or RESERVED ?

Is it a BUG or not?

This is not a bug as it is specified in the MS manual that CON is a reserved word.

WHY CAN I CREATE THE FOLDER NAMED CON IF IT IS INVALID or RESERVED using another DOS Command named "mkdir"?

Now, answer me if it is it a BUG or not?

This is a bug. You can report it to MS helpdesk if you want to .
