Steve Rubel points to one of the most bizarre rumors I've ever seen floated - the idea that former President Clinton will take over from Ballmer as Microsoft President:

There are some rumors circulating that Steve Ballmer is about to step aside at Microsoft as its day to day operations head to make room for another president.

Bill Clinton.

Here's what I know. Sources near Microsoft headquarters report that over the past few months the ex cigar smoking prexy has made trips to Microsoft headquarters and has been interviewing for the top slot as the company looks at ways to transform themselves for the future. Given the global implications of technology, having a leader that is an ex country president would be massive.

Is April 1st early this year, and I just didn't get the memo?
