MacUser Rumors: Leopard plans to fight dirty

Now that MacUser has relaxed its “rumors and speculation” policy, it’s time to reveal this startling bit of news about Mac OS 10.5: a new “Search and Destroy” feature. Yes, once installed on a Mac Pro, MacBook, or PowerBook G3, Leopard will automagically scan your hard drive for any evidence of Microsoft products. That copy of MS Office that you claim you need for work? Leopard will find it. You say you installed Windows XP on BootCamp so you could play some computer game that won’t be ported to the Mac until Neil Gaiman’s Stardust is on DVD? Ohh, Leopard will totally find it, Mister or Miss, along with that Microsoft wireless mouse you think I can’t see. Once found, Leopard will then activate a “Code Boom” and overwrite all Microsoft products with something far superior (yes, including your mouse). When reached for comment about this surprisingly-aggressive move, Steve Jobs merely said, “Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.” Then he laughed maniacally for ten minutes until an assistant reminded him about his “negotiations with the rebels at 2 o’ clock.”

Ha ha ha, happy April Fool's to you too.
Thank god I just got a Logitech MX Revolution.
What with all the DRM built into Vista, this sounds more like the sort of scheme Microsoft would cook up with Apple software – no (April Fool's) joke.
Leopard lets the hate flow through it. I'm looking forward to that "something far superior" (mwah ha ha ha).
