New Micro$oft trial

Y'know, it's getting harder and harder to tell satire from real  news
reports these days.  Which was that?  Of course, it's funny in either
case, but it'd be nice to know whether we're laughing at a joke or  a
real new "product".


(There was a nice illustration of the difficulty of writing satire  a
couple  of months ago, when segfault.org had a fake announcement of a
new product from Microsoft that would let users  customize  the  Blue
Screen of Death.  One of the replies just explained how to do it.  So
much for satire.)
