I have nothing personal against Mike Rowe or Microsoft, but I will tell u something, Mike Rowe is just a trouble maker making lifes difficult for consumers with money, who are the kings in the world of buisness.

Just imagine the difficulty Mike Rowe is causing to millions of potential consumers, if his company made mouse for PCs, u phone a shop and say I want a "Microsoft mouse" and they send you a "MikeRoweSoft Mouse" or Vice versa. Just imagine the diffculty blind people will have when using a text to spech converter or in a store, they ask the assistant for a "Microsoft mouse" and they give you a "MikeRoweSoft Mouse" , which when u come home is the CR*P u will expect from a ID*T who set it up.

IMHO, Come on this site should not be shut down by micrsoft but by sane consumers, because MikeRowe is trying to con us, plain simple!

The same applies to Lindows, I nearly bought a PC on the Internet because it was £80 cheaper than a spec for spec machine. It was preloaded with LINDOWS and at that time I wasn't aware of Lindows, thinking it to be a typing ERROR. Thanks to a geek friend of mine, my hard earned cash was saved.

I wanted a PC with windows not Linux, but Lindows was trying to con the Lay consumer into buying their product.

So I promised to myself never to buy from a conning firm like lindows, and when I wanted to try Linux, I bought a copy from RED HAT, why i did it was that they had a unique non confusing name to show product ORIGINALITY, not a cloning name.

So MR Mike Rowe get this straight, u can set up a company with a misleading name, but belive me when consumers feel they have been tried to bee cheated your buisness will become a sucessfull failure. So get a life and call ur company a unique name to set it apart from other such as MikeRowe.com
