The numbers read as text are as follows: big boobs. We would deviate from the translation in this case, but in any case, the sexist remark from a Microsoft programmer has since stirred up a great outrage. The company has already apologized to their programmer for his childish humor and made the necessary adjustments.
Otherwise, the "joke" could have caused serious trouble, as Microsoft's Azure cloud service already used the hexadecimal number in question to identify guest systems. For a short time it was not known how much work would be involved in replacing the code.
