Cool thing about Win32: if you try to run an EXE, Windows checks to see if it's a valid format (PE). If it's not, it assumes that it's a COM: 16 bit 86 instructions, no header, no validation.

Cheap inkjet printers don't do any validation, so they would freak out, spew paper, and in one case, physically break.

Poor IE finally gets the message and slinks away, muttering curses. It's the digital equivalent of that uncle who keeps showing up at family gatherings despite nobody inviting him anymore.
