Hey guys, it is a hoax, it can be done by using the NT-Message Queuing Service. You can send those messages to all your friends running WinNT/2k/XP

 

All you need to do is type: net send 127.0.0.1 (IP-Address of your friend) Please delete all your Microsoft products... etc.... Just rename your computer to Microsoft and it adds to the "realism". Microsoft has implemented a "dialhome" feature, to remove it type in run: regsvr32.exe -u c:\windows\system\regwizc.dll:D

I have never seen NET SEND support that many characters before. But, it's a fake any due to the plural reference to Microsoft (MS docs always have themselves in a singular reference such as "Microsoft is").
