Bill Gates contradicts Mozart

The classically-minded among us may have noted a new TV ad for
Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses the musical
theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem.

"Where do we want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen.

Meanwhile, the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus
addictus," which means "The damned and the accursed are convicted to
flames of hell."

Or perhaps it's not a contradiction.
