Today was rather heavy with April’s Fools Day jokes, but for the second year in a row Baconit seems to have been the one which has fooled the most Windows Phone users.

Timed to coincide with April’s Fools Day, the app popped up the rather alarming Easter egg, suggesting your Windows Phone has had a fatal disk corruption error, which needed to be fixed with the Narwhal memory recovery algorithm.

Apparently readers reaction ranged from massive alarm to amusement, which I think is the mark of a pretty good joke.
