Windows Vista: Notepad

[Guest]

Hi,

Type the following string exactly as it appears in Notepad:

Bush hid the facts

and save it and close it.

Open the file again in notepad and you see strange characters.

If it is something legitimate (with encoding and stuff) please let us know.
Or, if it is a bug, then it was there in Windows XP as well as Windows 2003
Server. And now, its there in Longhorn server as well.


Regards,

LOL YES it does!

wow

I got this on reopening the file: 畂桳栠摩ç æ•¨æ˜ æ¡ç´ (chinese characters, or maybe
kanji)

However, not when you save in Unicode of course

same here, Babelfish informs me that this means "â–¡â–¡â–¡touches â–¡â–¡reflects picks
â–¡"... fun to know what is happening here...

I'd love to know who has the time to find these things out.
