- MrPig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22"I say we form a militia and attack Microsoft! Who's with me?"
"Umm, it was just a joke, sir."
"What? Oh thank god. - So who's with me?" - Dihuko, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22That scared me.
- ChewyBass, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15For more info http://www.msfirefox.com/
- debuggercll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I sat down in front of my notebook with a fresh sandwich, opened up FireFox and the first thing I see is "Microsoft buys out FireFox." I dropped my sandwich. :(
- AhrenBa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Don't ever do that again. That scared the sh** out of me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Happy Halloween to you too!

Sorry - reflous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"System Requirements: A credit card" hahaha
- userChris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"...anything that remotely resembles a tit or a boob will download up to 10 times faster. Fun at the speed of light!"
- Mexrocker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4NOT FUNNY!!!

digg+ - borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"MS Firefox 2007 delivers a dramatic boost in the download speeds of online pornography. By utilising a proprietary dynamic algorithm - anything that remotely resembles a tit or a boob will download up to 10 times faster. Fun at the speed of light!"
lol - davidod87, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Whew... Thank ***** this is satire.
- Broelke4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3.....I almost had to go to the emergency room when I saw that title.
- themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Should have saved it for April Fools.
- therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Get burnt...with MS Firefox 2007"
"May contain Spyware" - Donut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2my heart skipped a beat when i read that 0_0
- sancho320, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well then it really wouldn't have the same effect, now would it...
- jkr06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There's a downloadable link also at msfirefox.com. It downloads IE !!
- friedclyde, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thank God I use Opera :) I dint read the article just the comments Happy Halloween....im glad its not true!
- kevinisnthere, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hi Def Animated Gifs...he he he - I like the System Requirements
- sancho320, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Scared the ***** outta me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You know, it almost would be fun to see MS buy Firefox. Just to watch all the MS asstroturfers in five years going "Hah! Microsoft is superior because it has Firefox! Until Firefox is ported to Linux, I won't switch!"
Why not? It already happened with Mosaic. - Nick22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Never thought it was true for a sec.... Read the title and said to myself "wtf this is retarded!"
- WhiskerTheMad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Masterfully done. My hat's off, even if this did shave a few years off my life...
- psilanthropist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN !
damn! my heart almost stopped beating. - crossers, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0as I use Opera and IE so I just hope that this is not true!

http://www.chasr.org/ - Action123, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yea, its download IE.
Is this a fukin strategy by MS to get some firefox users to download IE? - dandiemer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I think it's idiotic to portray something obviously untrue as real just so you can have a frontpage chink added onto your digg belt. Marked inaccurate.
- Torxter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I love it! xD As soon as I read it I knew it was phony.
- pr1mus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2For a second I thought the days of IE were finally over...
- WVUChrisF, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1F'n awesome.
- 1021, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2My heart aged a few months when I first read this... good one!
- mydigglogin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2You'd think MS Linux (http://www.mslinux.org) would be one of the supported operating systems.
- tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3LOL. Obviously satire. Funny, though.
- shadowsword232, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Something died inside me, then it turned out to be napping
- waxoff, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I'm going to state the obvious here... should have been posted on April Fools Day.Still, funny as hell. Much applause and kudos.
- corvairkid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I would be but the Department of Homeland Security won't let me cross the border with all of this strong Canadian beer.
Shooting up Redmond is fine but no Rickard's Red.
And unless you'll be providing the rifles, we have to use my Lee Enfield No.1 Mk III's so I hope you know somewhere we can buy a few boxes of .303 British. - fractured, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Too bad it looks like they made that front image in mspaint
- mdshort, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I knew it was fake as soon as I noticed the title.
Why in the world would a company buy another company that only has GPL software at no cost. Even if MS did such an outrageous and wasteful thing people would just get the latest cvs and start over with the same codebase and a new name. - Mootabolife, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1April Fools!!!
Wait... - glowsticky, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Microsoft will rue the day they buy Firefox.
- teckjunkie, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2I pissed myself a little bit seeing the title.
- xptweakerntn, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1what makes me mad are these false titles
i would have viewed it even if it said
"microsoft bought out firefox joke"
really, people need to keep the title straight. - AngryBacon, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Wow... this is a joke... right??

clientUpdateProhibited - Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1ok I went a little to far with an edited whois of microsoft.com
- muthafucka, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0This is not original. This is like the Microsoft iPod box joke that was out a year or so ago. Even that Microsoft iPod box was actually created by someone at Microsoft as a "how-not-to guide" to marketing.
- Whosawhatsis, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1I don't have a problem with jokes, but at least put "(HUMOR)" in the headline or something. Buried as inaccurate.
