Update: This is my first attempt at a www.mintywhite.com April Fools joke.
After nearly three months of negotiation, red tape, paperwork, phone calls, and trips to Redmond, Microsoft and I have come to an agreement on an acquisition of www.mintywhite.com. More details will follow but I want readers to be aware of what’s happening (and what will happen) around here.
In an ongoing effort, by Microsoft, to get to know their customers and help them get the most of out of Microsoft products, the Redmond, WA company wants to be part of a community that has a close connection with it’s users and their computing needs.
What does this mean for readers?
There will be no immediate changes but the future of www.mintywhite.com includes:
- Windows Forums will change its name to Microsoft Help Central.
- Windows Guides will be re-branded as Windows How-to Guides.
- A team of Microsoft-employed writers will continue post creation.
- The same quality and loyalty to readers will continue and I will stay active in the forums.
More information to come.
Thanks,
Rich

Hey Rich are you into April Fools Day? Cause that piece sure do sound kinda shady. Just my thought. If it is a fool….you had me for like an hour, until i visit Google home page.
I really hope that this is an april fool’s day prank!
I would like to say congratulations. I am assuming this is what you wanted. Its impressive MS took over your blog. I am happy for you and for the fact that you will stay active in the site. Your how-to-guides are really good. Regards,Linu
I have to say one of the things that I liked here was that it was not controlled by Microsoft itself even if you were an MVP. I do congratulate you on a most lucrative decision. I am looking forward, with some in trepidation, to see how they will change the site. Rich I hope you don’t mind if I keep your mail address. Bravo and congratulations, Gary
Microsoft acquisition of www.mintywhite.com
I am very intrigued by this news. Is it MS that approached Mintywhite or the other way around? Not that it matters one way or the other or that it’s going to change anything, but I am curious if it MS really wants to reach out to its customers and this is a quick route for MS (acquisition) or if Mintywhite hit the big time.
I like Mintywhite and gotten good stuff on it.
You are a funny one Rich
Congratulations to you!
I often refer people to your articles when helping my older clients learn their computers.
Hope the quality remains stellar!
Cheers

I am almost certain this is an April Fools. Correct me if I am wrong – on the 2nd of April.
This was very scary until I remembered it was April 1st. Microsoft would have ruined this site.
