Saw over ActiveWin:

Microsoft France has decided to stop producing Microsoft Word 2000 for the time being due to a spell-checker ´racial´ bug. Indeed a French TV channel ( Canal + ) shows to million of watchers that Word 2000 suggests the word ´Anti-Arabs´ when you type ´Anti-stress´. Journalists sues Microsoft to be racist and a scandal happened here in France. So Microsoft stopped the production of Word 2000 and all related products that include Word 2000 and release a patch. A phone call center was also opened to answer customers inquiries and to send customers corrected CDs of Word 2000. Finally Microsoft France announced that Microsoft Word 2000 would be back in stores in April.
