Comment on How Microsoft Bob ended up being a part of every copy of Windows XP

Comments

Microsoft should offer $1M for anyone who cracks the encryption on the MS Bob data. Not sure why they'd do that but it would be a fun contest.

Someone will probably do it 'just for fun'

Want to bet the guy who did it knows perfectly well the passphrase? Want to bet it's something in the lines of "dumbsuitmakesstupidrequests" or "billgatesisanidiot"?
