No, but it's polite, it's greeting the world. You are so insensitive!

Really? Can you find a bug in this...
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("hello, world");
return 0;
}
But Microsoft did not write that routine, had they done it, it would read something like:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("hello, world");
get_administrative_privileges();
collapse_system();
return 0;
}
