I always knew Starduck was into conspiracies big time!
No

here.
First off it was their political filter to wheedle out undesirables from getting blogs (just ask GuyPC... if you can find him)...then technology incorporated into IkonPackager to spy on Object(to MS)Desktop users internet habits, thus eliminating the desire to do nude computing and/or visiting competitor sites like TIT Soft.com.
However, what proved it to me was Starduck's ability to release Duskscapes for all Airo enabled versions of Wistla. Me thinks Starduck's CEO and its devs conspired to beat Microsux on its 'Ultimatest only' stance, and came up with technology to mesmerise/brainwash Microsux officials into allowing Deskscapes for versions other than Ultimatest.
Next, Starduck will develop it for eXP as well, you see. Yup, Starduck will call another developers conference with Microsux, during which, Starducks technology whizzes will use anal probes and mesmerising appliances to induce Microsux attendees to agree to Duskscapes eXP for both Home and Professional incarnations.
Don't believe it?? C'mon, you honestly don't see Will Bates agreeing to anything that reduces 'Ultimiatest' sales, do ya! Nope, Mister Bates would much rather consider gender reassignment if it helped maintain/boost Ultimatest sales.
