MICROSOFT TO SELL AD SPACE IN ERROR MESSAGES

     Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) announced that it
     is selling advertising space in the error messages
     that appear in Windows. Acknowledging for the
     first time that the average user of their
     operating system encounters error messages at
     least several times a day, Microsoft is trying to
     take financial advantage of the unavoidable
     opportunity to make an ad impression. 

     "We estimate that throughout the world at
     any given moment several million people are
     getting a `General Protection Fault' or `Illegal
     Operation' warning. We will be able to generate
     significant revenue by including a short
     advertising message along with it," said Microsoft
     marketing director Nathan Mirror. He also
     mentioned that Microsoft is intended to add banner
     ads into its Blue Screen of Death in the near
     future. 

     The Justice Department immediately
     indicated that they intend to investigate whether
     Microsoft is gaining an unfair advantage in
     reaching the public with this advertising by
     virtue of its semi-monopolistic control over error
     messages.
