It's on several news sites and the Mozilla site.

One example is here:

Even the site it's posted on says March 31. If it was posted in Australia, he'd have been OK, but now the fool's on him.

I think the guy was just preparing early.

Maybe they can fix the active scripting exploit that's doing the rounds right now. :eek:

/disables active scripting on all copies of IE, then goes back to using Firefox.

I presume all these April fools are being added a day early as it's Saturday tomorrow.

It's not a joke, it's actually real.

Surely Microsoft buying Mozilla would be more believable.

It's not a joke? That's the worst joke i've heard all day, and i've heard a lot of jokes.

Berserker · 31 Mar 2006 at 23:04

Almost as believable as PigeonRank

Like I said earlier, wonder what they'll cook up this year.

iSam · 31 Mar 2006 at 23:09

^ Haha, Google come up with some classic jokes like the Google Drink which you drink then send off the lid for DNA analysis or something like that. My sister believed it...what an arse!

G-MAN2004 · 31 Mar 2006 at 23:13

Is there any more proof as to if this is real or not :confused:

I can't find it on the Mozilla website. I just can't see Bill Gates selling IE tbh.

Ah yes - for posterity. Not sure that's the one you're referring to, but it'll do.

Ha, yea thats it! :cool:

I love how much detail they go into to make it realistic.
