1371697 2014-03-31 19:03:00 Just heard on the news that Microsoft has announced plans to buy Apple. ;) pcuser42 (130)
1371698 2014-03-31 19:31:00 ignoring the april fools component, would MS actually have enough money to be able to buy Apple? Google maybe. psycik (12851)
1371699 2014-03-31 19:55:00 Looking at their worth on Wiki, I don't think either could afford Apple. Maybe ExxonMobil?? Alex B (15479)

Neither company would.

Apple is worth more than both combined.

Maybe Google should do MS a favour and by them instead :) :thumbs:

1371702 2014-03-31 21:28:00 I wouldn't have mentioned April fools myself, spoiled the Joke immediately. It'd be funnier to just keep adding info and discussions as if it was real.
I play WoW, on April fools a couple years back a Guild mate posted a huge forum post about how they were adding a 4th skill tree complete with details on all the skills and abilities. She had people convinced and arguing for days, especially about hunters getting a tank tree.

I would have said it was an April fools joke regardless of the "wink" considering that Microsoft doesn't have that much money in the bank. Also they are more likely to spend $7 billion or more on a pointless acquisition of a struggling tech company like Nokia or Yahoo and try to make that work... Oh wait... they've done that already :)
