Obligatory reminder Microsoft has been pulling bullshit like this (and worse) for over 30 years, at least as far back as the AARD code.

> Some programs and drivers in some pre-release builds of Windows 3.1 include code that tests for execution on MS-DOS and displays a disingenuous error message if Windows is run on some other type of DOS. The message tells of a “Non-fatal error” and advises the user to “contact Windows 3.1 beta support”. Some programs in the released build include the code and the error message, and even execute the code, performing the same tests, but without acting on the result to display the error message.

> The code in question has become known widely as the AARD code, named after initials that are found within.
