That rumor surfaces every couple of years and has been doing so for 
nearly all of Macromedia's history... Here's another equally long-lived 
piece of humor:

"#2. MICROSOFT HAS NO PLANS TO ACQUIRE CATHOLIC CHURCH
The latest Internet hoax has Microsoft acquiring the Roman Catholic 
Church,
including exclusive electronic rights to the Bible. The story, written
under an Associated Press byline, says the agreement provides for Pope 
John
Paul II becoming the senior vice president of the company's new 
Religious
Software Division, and two Microsoft senior vice presidents being 
invested
in the College of Cardinals. The fake story included a promise from Bill
Gates to "make the sacraments available online for the first time."
Officials at Microsoft and AP said they didn't know where the story
originated. (Tampa Tribune 12/17/94 B&F10)"

Happy Holidays! :)
