Here's why. I have always wanted to flush MS down the loo, I guess now I can.

Microsoft: Internet-Ready Toilet A Hoax

POSTED: 7:20 a.m. EDT May 13, 2003

REDMOND, Wash. -- Microsoft says a company news release that said it was developing a portable toilet with Internet access, called an "i-Loo," was a hoax perpetrated by its British division.

The April 30 release, issued by the company's MSN Internet division in the United Kingdom, said Microsoft was developing a portable toilet with a wireless keyboard and an extending height-adjustable plasma screen in front of the seat. The i-Loo was to debut at festivals this summer in Britain.

The fake release generated coverage by The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press and Reuters.

A Microsoft spokeswoman has apologized for "any confusion or offense it may have caused."

Even if they really did try something like this I would never use it. Imagine what the results of any bacteria or foreign material test would show from the keyboard. YUCK!

And here I was ready to set it up as my AH flightsim cockpit.

Kind of gives a new meaning to the word "cockpit" doesn't it
