SecondAgenda : Cause you to blow your iWad

MSFirefox 2007 “Professional Edition”

Category : internet + silly

It appears that two weeks ago on the heals of the eagerly awaited release of Firefox 2 a twisted parody was registered. Proving that it doesn’t take much to create an official looking Microsoft product site beyond having way too much free time. While it’s impossible to tell who is actually behind it all, it becomes quite clear when you dig around and read through the MSFirefox site that it’s content is a clever parody of IE7 and Microsoft in general.

So if you start hearing rumors in the coming days and weeks that Microsoft has purchased Firefox, have a good laugh at the completely misinformed reporting it before you kindly clue them in. The only question I would like to ask the sites author is: Why in the hell have people actually download IE7 and not redirect them to Firefox instead? Otherwise, it’s genuine geek humor at it’s finest. Bonus points if official news channels pick this up without realizing it’s a prank.
