Would be cool to own a Microsoft Rift that isn't anything VR related but is in fact a new accessory for xbone. Kinect is to be renamed Hulu. Hulu is now SurfaceVideo Pro

use the builtin window management. now you have multiple workbooks in one instance
do both of these. now you have poo poo inside poo poo

that's nothing. one of the older versions of office sometimes needed to pad the files with garbage data for some stupid reason, so it just took whatever it found in RAM at the time and wrote it into the document file. naturally this was way before any kind of sandboxing so it was blindly logging pieces of other programs' working memory, without any kind of clue to the user, and saving those contents in exactly the type of file you are likely to disseminate to a bunch of other people
