whats the controversy surrounding this? and what was the outcome?
cracked by mrinalini. half points to her though.
this is what you get when you type NYC in wingdings. people accused MS of being antisemetic.
the outcome was Webdings which shows an eye, heart and city skyline when NYC is typed.
pay attention mrinalini!

If you type the letters "NYC" in MS Word in Wingdings font, the symbols on the bottom line will be displayed. This, according to some conspiracy theorists, is proof that Microsoft has 'buried' anti-semitic messages in its software.
ASIDE: If you type 'Q33' before 'NYC' you'll get some more 'interesting' symbols, which when taken together can keep aformentioned theorists occupied for a long time. But I digress. After the 9/11 attacks, when our inboxes were full of such theories, Microsoft issued a statement clarifying that the character sequence was a coincidence..no malicious intent ...etc. etc. and that they could not change it now, as too many applications/third parties would be affected.
