| subject: | Re: Microsoft stole OS X code for Vista? humor and fiction |
From: "Rich Gauszka" Unfortunately it looks like a lot of links are picking up on but missing the few lines at the bottom of the blog ( guilty here also) - and it isn't even April 1st http://clintonforbes.blogspot.com/2007/03/microsoft-insider-15-of-windows-vista .html PS. This is the second post in my series of attempted humour about Microsoft. I don't know what has come over me in the past week. A few days I was picking at monkey-boy Steve Ballmer, a completely unprovoked attack on the idol of Visual Basic programmers world-wide.
