April 1, 2005, Redmond, WA--FSGenesis announced today plans to buy Microsoft Corporation in a straight cash deal. FSGenesis will then sell-off the Office franchise, and throw all available resources into development of Flight Simulator. Chairman Bill Gates commented, "We have been watching FSGenesis for quite some time and feel strongly that with Justin's vision and direction that Flight Simulator with become so real that the real-world aviation industry will become superfluous . . ."

FSGenesis subsequently announced plans to merge research and development of their new transporter system with flight simulator development to provide real-time, instantaneous transport anywhere in the Galaxy. This transport is free to any GalaxyUltra member. Existing GalaxyPlus members are grandfathered into access to this new transport system. o
