Microsoft preparing mysterious announcement
The Imperium upon which the sun appears to be setting more often is set to make a huge announcement on March 15.
If it were Apple there would be all sorts of fevered expectation which would result in a hysterical press rushing to the press conference to see what polished turd Steve Jobs was offering this week. When Microsoft issues a similar cryptic notice, no one notices. To be fair we only spotted it because of the date which is the Ides of March.
The Ides of March are not a good time for any Imperium. After all, it was on that date that Julius Caesar was stabbed under the Statue of Pompey the Great. But there have been dark murmurings in the Imperium lately. The feeling is that the shy and retiring Caesar Steve Ballmer is no longer up to the task. Apparently the concern is that he has dropped the ball so much lately that he appears to be playing basketball while the rest of the world is playing rugby.
