Just got this as a text from Swirly MMS. April Fools Joke?

Microsoft buys SwirlySpace as well!

In a further attempt to catch up with Apples unprecedented success with
its iPhone, Microsoft decided to buy SwirlySpace AB. Mr S
Ballmer and the directors of SwirlySpace had a fruitful meeting on
Avenyn in Gothenburg earlier today (2009-04-01) and came to an
agreement. This is the second major involvement in the iPhone
community made by Microsoft today. Earlier this morning, Mr J Freeman
announced that Microsoft will also buy Cydia
( Microsoft · Cydia ).

SwirlySpace AB
SwirlySpace
Developers of SwirlyMMS, the only true MMS application on the iPhone.

A youtube search for "cydia microsoft" "swirly microsoft" "jay freeman microsoft" and "saurik microsoft" come up with nothing. Please link.

The link given by saurik goes to RickRoll'D Nice

I like the Hackulo.us app that is windows on the iPhone

Of course its an April fools joke!
run Cydia, click on ''Microsoft buys Cydia'' then click the link ''Jay meets Bill Gates''... the video says it all!

Do you REALLY think Bill Gates showed up to CTIA, JUST to meet Jay personally??? C'mon....

it is april fools and it is perfect because he actually is at a convention in vegas

1) it would be a great move for cydia because apple would never sue Microsoft (again)
2) i would never use cydia again
3) bill gates isnt in charge of anything with the company anymore, he is full time with the bill gates foundation
