1st of April is a great day, lots of cool hoaxes all day around. We at ZeroTurnaround have contributed with DNArebel – Improve Yourself Today and JavaRebel Goes AI. Usually everything ends once the day is over.
This year’s dow.ngra.de hoax, Microsoft acquires ZeroTurnaround for undisclosed amount has amused us even months later. Couple of weeks ago we spotted a Chinese article that listed all the acquisitions of Microsoft during the past year. And we made the list!
Today we found the news from a business systems news & analysis page, FSN.
FSN provides finance professionals around the globe with independent news, vital analysis and deep insight about key developments in the world of business and accounting systems. We debunk the technical jargon of the IT world and present leading-edge issues in a way that is accessible and relevant to business decision makers.
We’re in the article Shifting Sands (EDIT: link is dead now) with players like Salesforce, Digita, Google, Oracle, Microsoft and HP :)
A fact taken from a blog post on 1st of April, not confirmed from either parties and presented in an article with vital analysis and deep insight.
Of course there is an easy fix. Either Microsoft acquires the Java productivity tooling company ZeroTurnaround or FSN notices a referrer from this blog and makes changes. I’ll keep you posted on who wins the race.
