A funny easter egg I recently came across in Windows XP, relating to files created in the future:

1. Set your system clock to a date in the future (something far in the future; eg December 2030).
2. Create a new file (anything, a blank text document will do).
3. Set the system clock back to the real date.
4. Open the directory containing the newly-created file.
5. Choose the View → Arrange Icons By → Modified option.
6. Tick View → Arrange Icons → Show in Groups.
7. Look at the group heading of the newly-created file:
   

Of course, that should be “Millenium”… Millennia is plural
