Early this morning, the rumormill went a bit bonkers. A hole to a parallel universe apparently ripped open outside of an analyst’s office. Through this hole, the analyst saw a world where Steve Ballmer presented something<\/em> at Apple’s WWDC 2010 keynote. Alas, the analyst didn’t realize that this was a parallel universe, instead interpreting it as a glance into the future. “Steve Ballmer will be presenting at WWDC! Steve Ballmer will be presenting at WWDC!”, he shouted. <\/p>\n

People were skeptical, and rightly so. It’s all a bunch of nonsense, says Microsoft.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In a brief statement <\/a>issued over Twitter (what else?) this afternoon, Microsoft straightened things out:<\/p>\n

\n

Steve Ballmer not speaking at Apple Dev Conf. Nor appearing on Dancing with the Stars. Nor riding in the Belmont. Just FYI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Good. Between starring as the next Bond villain and training for the Olympics, we figured that Ballmer’s schedule was already getting stretched a bit too thin. While Microsoft could very well make an appearance during WWDC keynote as a partner, it probably won’t be Ballmer’s mug staring back at the audience.<\/p>\n
