Simple Software Fix

Just program the software so that the letter O and the digit 0 match, similarly the letter I and the digit 1 could be accepted as a match.

What could be simpler?

What's with all the Microsoft hate in these Comments?

FYI, I am happily running build 20170 as part of Microsoft's preview program and it works just fine on my Intel-based PC. No crashes, no surprises. And when I want to run Linux on my Windows machine, I can bring up a Linux terminal window almost instantly from the file explorer menu, or I can start a whole VM running Ubuntu Linux from scratch in just a few seconds. It's a great development environment.

Crashes 'The Register' app on Windows 8 too

It is quite ironic, but if I try to read this article about the 75 character string using the Windows 8 app called 'The Register' (apparently an official app developed by The Register), the app crashes!!!

It's a repeatable crash too, not a fluke.
