Wednesday March 25, 7:48 pm Eastern Time UPI/IPO NEWS FLASH: RSYS/MSFT PLAN "CEO-SWAP" ON ARPIL 1, 1998 Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) soared $3.87 higher in heavy trading today as news of the MSFT/RSYS CEO-Swap were leaked this morning to insiders on Wall Street. Radisys (RSYS) investors took the news with a grain of salt (like they take most RSYS news reports) and shares of RSYS fell $2.25 today in heavier than usual trading. Microsoft's CFO, Greg Maffei said in a press conference this evening that "...heads were gonna roll..." when he finds out who leaked the story! "This was not supposed to come out until April 1st!" Maffei exclaimed. When asked if anyone at RSYS could have leaked the story, Brian Turner, CFO said, "Hell, this was such a hush-hush story I only learned of it last night when Myers called me from Florida and told me that he and Gates had put this crazy thing together! I thought they were still at that Red Chip Review thing!" Neither Myers nor Gates were available for comment. They both have been at the Lipton Tennis Championships in Florida for the past week and a half, secretively working out the details of this unprecedented CEO-Swap. They've also been working on their backhands and taking in some terrific tennis in the Florida sun. [Sorry, Burt, but the cat's out of the bag. I'm only coming out with it now cause it will be headlines all over the financial world within 48 hours.]
