Talkback Give us a break! Just in case any unfortunate critters who can't spell come upon this site which looks nothing like Microsoft (who spend a lot of money on successful corporate branding) and get confused.

Talkback Any one wishing to get on TV or in the news paper, needs to only purchase a domain name in some variation of a microsoft product. It's better than people trying to kill or stalk others. Thanks MS for providing a public service.

Talkback Just goes to show how sad and desperate Microsoft is now people are starting to realise how awful their software really is.

Microsoft: We took MikeRoweSoft too seriously
Talkback Let the guy keep his domain and get a sense of humor, Microsoft!

Microsoft: We took MikeRoweSoft too seriously
Talkback This guy is 100% wrong, he knew exactly what he was registering, companies have to protect their trademark, or they could lose it. It is business, and this guy chose his name specifically because it sounded like Microsoft.

Talkback Amazing - we should all start registering similar Microsoft web site names and let these idiot big guys try and sue 20 million web sites! Is there NO sense at the top?

Talkback Make your new domain name public before Microsoft pays you out Mike.

Talkback Well you also cannot deny that his name is Mike Rowe and the fact that it sounds like Microsoft or that he caught onto that fact doesnt mean he is wrong. Give the guy a break, I'm sure Microsoft has more serious problems to deal with than this.

Talkback Absolutely wrong. The writer that posts the comment that Microsoft is "required" to file lawsuit is dead wrong. They might be "well advised" bu t they are "required. If that is the logic, then is Mikerowsoft "required" to sue for defamation...

Talkback Mike Rowe should be the one p****d off here, for being accused of association to a low standards company like Microsoft.

Talkback Its all about principle. Mike Rowe cannot deny that he was well aware of what his catchy name would do for him. He is trying to use the "I'm only 17 and didn't have a clue" syndrome. Please!

Talkback Good On U Mike! There should be no problem! After all, your name is Mike Rowe, if Madonna can ban a porn site that used her name (think it was madonna.com) her argument was that it was her name which belongs to her, the same defence should be applied!

Talkback I think its great that so many people are offering support for the little guy. Perhaps it shows (as many of these comments have indicated) that many people are tired of MS's bullying tactics. I also agree with other commentators that 10,000 is not...

Talkback Think about visually impaired people. If some text-to-speech functionality of browser would be confused by this URL, Mr Mike Row should make a compromise with Microsoft.

Talkback What a load of crap microsoft is proposing, how can they open up their big mouth and all they could talk was just a whole load of rubbish. The kid registered the site using his name and all microsoft could say was people would mistake his name for...
