Microsoft sues 17 year old for domain
Xeen:
In a very similar campaign as MS began a few weeks ago against the owner of www.mikerosoft.ca , Microsoft is now suing a 17-year old owner of another domain.
The owner is another canadian high school student whose name happens to be Mike Rowe. The kid is a web designer, and last year started a site called MikeRoweSoft.com . Well last week Microsoft started informing him that they will sue him unless he gives them the domain name because its phonetically pronounced the same as Microsoft!!!!! The kid said he'd agree for a reasonable settlement amount from MS. M$ replied by offering him - are you ready - 10 dollars!!!!

lol! :D These stories are so full of shit....
"Confuse our customers?" They're probably talking about the stupid people. BUT, since stupid people use Windows, I'm sure they know how to spell "Microsoft."
Are we next? :eek:
