I have just heard a rumor that specky faced Billionaire Bill Gates is going to buy out another company.

This time, FreeDedicatedServers.com the company that do the free servers for sites with more than 5000 hits.

If he could buy the moon, he probably would the rich "you know what".

Why would Microsoft be interested in a company like Freededicatedservers.com?
It could either be the "20 letters long" name, or the famous virtualis dedicated servers?

What do you think?

Freededicatedservers.com is hosted with alabanza and registered to a hotmail address. Seems sort of sketchy to begin with I think........

As per usual, until we see proof, we'll just have to regard it as tomorrow's news today.... In the rubbish bin.

May we see the source of this rumor, please?

Why would MS do that... they are big enough to start anything without the help of some small fake free server company :)

It's not like this freededicatedserver company is competing with MS... and since MS is known to only buy those it can't beat... (a lot of them actually)

No, no, that's not quite it... I think it's something in the rodent family.

Hmmm, a Monty Python sketch spings to mind now.

Everybody join in now:

Spam Spam Spam, Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam, Spam Spam Spam Spam.

Some people must think people who use these forums are stupid. Microsoft could by the FGC if it wanted to seriously get into web-hosting (I believe it already offers it - anybody?).

The all capitals was the first clue. Thank goodness in cyberspace we can't smell the stench of this post. It reeks.

Felix,

Eliminate all dairy foods from your diet for the duration of your bout with the flu. Your congestion will lighten as your body produces phlegm from milk fat.
