It's too good to be a mistake or coincidence. :)

Subject: OT: Microsoft advertising


I'm forwarding this most amusing (to me at least) note from one of
our professors on campus:

> The classically minded among us may have noted a new 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," which,
> as I read it, translates to, "The damned and accursed are convicted to the
> flames of hell."
>
> Good to know that Microsoft has done its research.
