what was the hidden game in the Windows XP installer

[chazzy2501]

I was telling someone about the hidden game in the windows xp installer (via F10 cmd prompt) I can't remember who you accessed it or even what it was.. Google is of no help!

Re: Pinball: When playing Pinball type "hidden test" (with the space and quotes) and press enter to gain control of the ball via the mouse rather than the keys.

I've never liked Easter eggs in software, as it's just something else to go wrong, adds bloat and shows a lack of focus on the developer's side.

 

Humbug, anyone?
