Can this function be manipulated to say something other than The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog? If not, it is pretty useless

No need to be accusing.
I just see absolutely no point to having a paragraph of The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I dont think MS is the one that came up with the phrase 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' anyway... So dont act like MS is all cool...
