April Fool's Joke

I hope you all enjoyed yesterday's April Fool's jokes. They were the upside down website and the Tarada Purchased by Microsoft blog post.

Tarada Purchased by Microsoft

We are proud to announce that as of today, April 1, 2011, Tarada is part of Microsoft. That's right: we have been purchased by Microsoft. What does this mean for our valued customers? We will continue to make great open source software and live up to our company vision. Being with Microsoft will enable even more possibilities and opportunities for our future products and expansion here at Tarada.

As for our plan for the future, we will slowly merge into developing paid-for Windows software as part of Microsoft's new "Third Party Division," which will pose as new innovative companies outside of Microsoft. We look forward to better being able to serve our consumers and our investors. Thank you.

How do you feel about us being bought by Microsoft? Tell us by leaving a comment.

Valentine's Day

The Tarada website has been decorated for Valentine's Day! We will continue to decorate for holidays. Our next theme will be for St. Patrick's Day. Please note that once we create the theme file, we just set a timer for the correct day. Our server uses Pacific Standard Time, so the theme might come a whole day late for you if you are on the other side of the world.

Have an idea for a theme? Leave a comment!

Tarada Website Editor Down!

I am currently unable to edit the Tarada website! Yikes! I normally upload our files using FTP. The FTP server was not responding, so I tried the HTTP uploader and got this terrible message:

The VistaPanel is undergoing maintenance for the next 5 - 7 days.



Sorry the the inconvenience.
