Story: Microsoft: We took MikeRoweSoft too seriously
Posted by: Me (Wednesday 21 January 2004, 12:11 AM)
Anyone would think that MikeRoweSoft is the only website addy sounding like microsoft or using the microsoft name, well those that do would be wrong because there are lots of names on the internet that phonetically sound like and some even use the microsoft name.
So Mr Microsoft before you go picking on the small business man go looking on your internet and see the hundreds of others that are using names sounding like yours to, because i can guarantee you there are lots out there. And if u choose to take on MikeRowe then you better be prepared to take on all the others out there to otherwise its discrimination.
So Microsoft stop being so greedy and let the subject lie, you dont own the domain world.
