iLoo Update It appears, contrary to my assumption below, that there really IS  a nascent tradition of Cinco de Mayo Fool's jokes.  Microsoft has issued a statement that the iLoo is a hoax perpertrated by its UK division: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/121744_iloo13.html One wonders if Microsoft actually did float the idea and is now seeking cover due to the derision it has received from some quarters, but it really did seem like a spoof to me at first.  Most of the corroborations for the story came from a PR firm in London.  Wouldn't you love to be the person at that firm that takes the call from Steve Ballmer?   4:57:15 AM    Speak to me! []  TrackBack  []
