Story: Mikerosoft.ca magnifies Microsoft's PR nightmare

Oh dear God. The loss of a company's USP (Unique Selling Point) isn't the end of the world. Just look at Hoover; it's a company. But it's been generalised and here in the UK especially, we call them hoovers, rather than vacuum cleaners.
How about cling film? That was a brand, now generalised. Coke, also a brand thanks to Coca Cola and now generalised.
Microsoft? Well, we all get the evil word shoved down our throats constantly and it's had the adverse effect; it seems to have consumed EVERYTHING and now, EVERYTHING is a threat to them. Oh no. No other software company can end it's name with 'soft' incase it sounds similar to Microsoft.
This from the guy who wanted to claim Windows as his trademark? WTF? Windows? Windows were being built into houses way before Mister Bill was even born.
Pathetic. Old news. Tomorros chip paper. Boring. Install Linux. microsft = deaaattth. EVIL.
