MS's Excel supposedly had a whole game as an easter egg, how quaint, no wonder it's bloated.

All's well and good when the software designer has integrity, but what happens if a dev decides to be malicious because he doesn't like his boss or has a chemical deficiency, checksums won't save the day.

If you enetered a specific number on a specific cell, a 3D maze type game started.

Not sure if this is still valid on the latest version of Excel, I heard somewhere that MS wanted all these easter egg's taken out

In Internet Explorer 8 beta 1, type "bill and jerry" (without the quotes) into the address bar and hit go whilst pressing the windows key. This only works in Vista business though.
