Yep, it’s April Fools Day ya’ll.

This just in. According to Digitimes, some well placed informants within the upstream supply chain also have a close ear to some heated discussions happening within the executive suite at Microsoft. Ever since Scott Forstall was ousted by Tim Cook at Apple, Microsoft’s leadership have been keen to enlist Forstall’s services as their new CEO.

According to sources, negotiations nearly complete. Surprisingly, the main reason Microsoft is so interested in Forstall, is not necessarily because of Ballmer’s lack of performance, but moreso because of Forstall’s ability to sell his sound vision of skeumorphism to the Windows 9 team.
