MS to buy Spain

[Johnny Awesome]

What's up with all the MS to buy "X" rumour threads. Isn't it getting a little silly?

 

[Carl B]

Dude, Spain's just what MS would need to bust into the European market!

 

[Johnny Awesome]

No one expected the MS Inquisition!

You're right. I wanted to start "MS to buy YOU" but figured it's pointless. MS is big enough to get hit by random rumors and hatred. It's just the way it is.

MS to buy Spain?!!?

That isn't fair on Sony the only way MS can win Spain is to stop Spaniards from having choice x 10

I hope Europe can stop MS buying Spain.

How do we know if MS are trying to buy us? They could have initiated stealth proxy battles to own us and we wouldn't even know. Bloody M$!!

 

[Carl B]

I'll need to discuss MS' offer to buy me over with my board of directors... we might be holding out for more.

 

[Dominik D]

That's why it would have been pointless. MS already bought you, it's just you don't know it yet.

Would be better if you could edit the title with "M$" That's what all the really clever people do!

How much did they offer you? They only offered me $12.74. Bloody M$.

And I was happy when I got $5000 worth in shares of a brilliant guy named "function". Guess they lied to me about his value in the market. Bloody M$ indeed!

On a serious note though, even though this thread is completely awesome, remember that there was only one real "MS Buys" thread... the Epic one. The Netflix title was Patsu doing the same thing we're doing here; having fun with the title. Even in his OP he pointed that out.

So, it's really not all that pervasive at all this past week/two weeks... just somehow highly addictive.

Too many good one-liners in this thread!

Btw, JohnnyAwesome I forgot to give you props before on your Spanish Inquisition reference - perfectly placed.

It'd been a fun year though:

M$ to buy:
EA
Epic
Yahoo
Logitech
Movie Studios (so they can "win" with HD DVD)
I think a major CE company was mentioned on avs for a bit also but can't recall the name!

Anything I'm missing?

I think MS was also supposed to buy ExxonMobil.

There's going to be one hell of a write-down next quarter.

[size=-2]My own shares in myself are worthless. Bloody M$[/size].

This thread is hilarious for me because I am a spaniard and a Mac user.

I´ll become a political refugee.
