Microsoft Firefox?

Sounds like an oxymoron, right?

When The Register reported here that Microsoft had released a version of Firefox with certain improvements (which sounded, in true Reg fashion, hilarious), I just checked the site out.

The site is called www.msfirefox.com and is one of the most authentic sounding hoaxes around. It allows you to download MS Firefox 2007 Professional (which is actually an IE7 distribution) and is complete with a support section.

Check out, however, some of the notes from the support section...



The "Note" actually says (and I quote)

* Note: Previous installations of browsers such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, will automatically be overwritten. The removal of Microsoft Firefox from your system violates international copyright law. Therefore, you cannot legally uninstall Microsoft Firefox.

WHOA!!!
