Linus Torvalds To Head Windows 9 Project

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday April 1, 2013 @02:00AM from the trying-something-new dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, and a champion of free and open source software has finally called it a day and has agreed to join Microsoft as the project head of the upcoming Windows 9 project. According to Bloomberg, Linus will be working on a new Kernel design for Microsoft that will make, usually vulnerable, Windows OS virtually impossible to be infected by viruses and malware."

Saw this on the announce newslist the other day. As always, editors get it wrong. Linus is only working on the Windows 9 Mobile division, not the head of the whole project.

I have to give kudos to /. for the most original and hilarious April fools prank. Well done! The ROT13 is genious :)
The OMG Ponies' fools day was by far the best 04/01 in /. history. This is not too horrible though.
