The genius in the advertising dept. at Microsoft has done it this time. Anybody seen the IE ads on TV lately? The one with a very effective choral music playing in the background? Well, the background music is the Confutatis Maledictis from Mozart's Requiem (Mass for the dead). And the words of the final blast of music which accompanies "Where do you want to go today?" are saying, "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis...," which means, "The damned and accused are convicted to the flames of hell."
