At least that's how I read this headline when I first saw it.

Microsoft Plans to Buy Canesta

Anyway, it kind of got me to thinking, could Microsoft actually buy Canada?

Discuss.

Everything :wub:

I'd rather live somewhere else in Canada though. It's too cold here.

Last I heard, by known Natural Resources alone Canada was worth many $Trillions(US). Well beyond the amount MS is able to Pay.

Maybe they can get it on layaway?

If the Indians had kept them can you imagine what those beads would be worth today?

Rick from Pawn Stars would be creaming in his pants to get them!

Why would anybody wants to purchase deprecating assets?

Is it deprecating or depreciating? Anyways, does it really matter?
