I don't think this is a joke...
This is a feature to rotate the screen as needed.
Imagine you have a Tablet PC and you want to let the guy from across the table to view your screen properly.

That's right. It's mainly for using monitors that support landscape  portrait mode, which used to be very popular with writers, publishers, proof readers, translators, people like that. Hence why you can usually rotate it 90° as well as 180°
But this thread reminded me of those old joke programs...

Either the graphics card doesn't support it, it's disabled or not set up in the graphics card's control panel or the graphics card's system tray application (like ATI's catalyst control centre, for example) isn't running

I used to work in a factory building IBM machines, my job was to load on the basic running software so you could install Windows...must have been well over a thousand high-end pc's with Sonic the Hedgehog on them. Couldn't play it, but it kept me amused
