Microsoft is getting bashed by the Natives for having their name taken for a social media project.
Washington's Tulalip Tribes are unhappy Microsoft has decided to use their name as the internal label for a new social media project.
And here's the one and only comment for the article at this time:
So is the name trademarked? That would be the only thing to worry about for 'legalities'. Otherwise they should consider it flattery and nothing more.
