Mozilla browsers have long had an “easter egg” whereby if you enter <code>about:mozilla</code> into the location bar, you're presented with a nice quote from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Mozilla" title="The Book of Mozilla on Wikipedia">the Book of Mozilla</a>. </p>
<p>
What's queer, is that entering <code>about:mozilla</code> into Internet Explorer gives a blue page. No other <code>about:</code> address (that I've tried) does this. </p>
<p>
Surely Microsoft aren't nicking source code? </p>
<p>
Incidentally, why haven't Mozilla's copyright/trademark folks taken Microsoft to court over their use of “Mozilla” in IE's user agent string? </p>
