Easter Eggs are intentional hidden messages, in-joke or feature in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, movie, book or crossword.
History: The term comes from the custom of the Easter egg hunt, observed in many Western nations as well as the last Russian imperial family's tradition of giving elaborately jeweled egg-shaped creations which contained hidden surprises.
Easter Eggs for Windows, ENJOY IT!!
The game “Minesweeper” includes multiple easter eggs.
First start typing "xyzzy" when you open the game. And then press shift and enter simultaneously. The top left-most pixel of the monitor (not the window) will be white or black when the mouse is hovered above a square, indicating that the square is either safe or mined, respectively. (The first click anywhere in Minesweeper is never a mine. A click on a 'black' square, as first click, moves that mine away). Pinball games, typing "hidden test" when the game is active starts test mode. In this mode, the user can drag the ball with the mouse cursor, and can press H to instantly get a high score, R to increase rank, M to display system memory, and Y to show frame rate. Typing "1max" at the start of a new ball awards an extra ball. Similarly, the user can type "gmax" to activate the gravity well, "rmax" to go up a rank, and "bmax" for unlimited balls (this last one results in an endless game, thereby precluding activation of the other cheats until the game is restarted).
In Windows Vista: Three images are embedded in the surface of Windows Vista's installation DVD. One of the images is the faces of the members of Microsoft's antipiracy team who worked on the hologram.
