10. OpenOffice/NeoOffice Calc: SpaceInvaders Game
Egg rating:
In earlier versions of Microsoft Excel, you could find arguably the most elaborate Easter eggs ever. Excel 97 had a 3D flight simulator, the 2000 edition saw this replaced by a motor racing game. Some corporate kill-joys were not so happy about their staff having easy access to computer games through their spreadsheet applications, and leant on Microsoft to rid them of this nuisance.

It is with some exhilaration we note that the OpenOffice project has taken due responsibility for keeping this tradition alive, and included a SpaceInvaders-style game in the Calc (spreadsheet) application. This also works for NeoOffice for Mac:
Create a new spreadsheet in OpenOffice/NeoOffice and enter this formula in any cell: =game() Press enter and the cell should display "say what?" Now enter: =GAME("StarWars")

The game will open in a new window. Choose a player and give 'em all you've got! If you close the game completely and want to play again later, the cell will display "oh no, not again!", so you'll have to restart the application to play again.
8. Firefox: The Book of Mozilla
Egg rating:
Type "about:mozilla" in the address field of Firefox, Camino, Netscape or any other Mozilla-based browser, and you get the following screen, with a piece of apocalyptic prose in the style of the Book of Revelations, apparently quoted from "The Book of Mozilla".

In case you wonder: no, there isn't really a "Book of Mozilla", but there have been a few different of these verses, this is the one included in all the recent browser-versions. Just to analyse the references here a bit; the verse, 7:15, refers to September 15th 2003, when AOL shut down the Netscape browser division, and the Mozilla Foundation was launched. The "great bird" rising from the ashes refers to the Mozilla project and the development of the Firefox browser – initially named "Firebird".

And Mammon? Presumably it wouldn't be too great a stretch of the imagination to assume that this refers to Microsoft and Internet Explorer.
