For example, last year saw phony Redmond press releases announcing development of Visual Studio for Linux and the upcoming release of a new Xbox game, World of Wordcraft. The Coding4Fun team is proud to take up the banner this year with code you can use to prank your friends, family and co-workers! We've also got some special video recollections by long-time Microsoft employees about working in a company culture that *loves* to pull pranks."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060402-MSPranks.jpg" /><br /><br />It's not too late to fool (unless you live by the midday rule), so you may want to head over to MSDN to see if any of Microsoft's ideas appeal to you.
