I know of at least one[0] Unix where the Microsoft copyright notice shows
up in the "true" command.  This is extremely funny, considering how much[1]
code is in there.

[0] I -think- it was OSF/1, but I saw that ages ago, so I'm probably
    wrong.
[1] cat `which true` to get the joke, unless, of course, you're on a GNU
    system, in which case the joke becomes significantly less funny.
