The classically minded among us may have noticed a TV ad for Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses the musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem.

" Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen, while the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis,"

This translates to "The damned and accursed are convicted to the flames of hell."

Good to know that Microsoft understands its products.

Being the classically kind of guy that I am..."still wearing the same style of jeans I wore way back in high school...Wranglers...:D I have also listened to this TV ad. But the music I heard was by [red]PINK FLOYD[/color] and the lyrics where...[yellow] ...a man in black on a snow white horse...a pointless life has lost its course...[/color] Guess it all means the same.
