        Im confused. In big bold letters, at the top of that page it says "MS Linux: Shipping in November 2003." Am I missing something...? :-O :-O Modified : Yes, I am missing a lot. I'll start with the Joke icon. Additionally, Hot Topics of "Microsoft Invades Cuba" and "Microsoft Monkey Colony on Mars." Also, the "What Others Are Saying" quotes. Funny stuff :-O :-O

        "If an Indian asked a programming question in the forest, would it still be urgent?" - John Simmons / outlaw programmer I get all the news I need from the weather report - Paul Simon (from "The Only Living Boy in New York")

              As funny as it may be don't expect this site to be online long. It is in clear violation of several laws including copyright and trademark infringement and identity theft. Building a site to look like another companies' site and pretending to be another company (even if it is a joke) is against the law. People who do this for financial institutes go to jail... I bet the MS lawyers have already drafted the legal paperwork to get the site pulled.

                Then how does that square with satire? I'm pretty sure what you're claiming isn't quite right, at least in the US.

                  All the best.
