Talkback Honestly, the more I learn about Microsoft, the more I look for alternative software. Obviously choosing your Name + Career for a domain makes sense - if you can make it a funny, memorable pun on the biggest giant in the business, then more power...

Talkback Ok, they buy his software but there are limits! As a Mac user I think its hilarious that microsoft are pathetic enough to send Mike a 25 page letter explaining why people would get confused between the two sites.

Talkback Mike Rowe should considerUpping the price to 100,000 just for Microsoft's Arrogance. Maybe ms should have bought his name in anticipation of a possible "infringement", perhaps they should buy all names that sound like theirs, instead of waiting...

Talkback I think it's his brother's fault In case you didn't know, Mike isn't an only child. He has a brother and a sister, and his brother's name is Mac. Mac is 24, but when he was 19, he started a media consulting company.

Talkback You wanna know a scam? Try an inquiry for a domain name. I tried "microsoft.biz" a few months ago. At first it came back as available for like 500 buck a year. Then it sent me into some kind of loop so I had to make the inquiry again.

Talkback I think if Microsoft wants the domain name they should have to pay Mike Rowe what he wants for it. Microsoft should have planned better for domain name conflicts and if they missed this one, then it's too bad for them.

Talkback We don’t need no high priced lawyers. We don’t need no thought control. No dark sarcasm in the chatroom. Bill Gates, leave Mike Rowe alone. Hey, Bill Gates, leave Mike Rowe alone! All in all it’s just another brick in Seattle.

Talkback I guess $10000 is not enough to compensate suffering Mike Rowe experienced for having his name sound like outspoken behemoth. We as a community should not let him down (at least without a pay). But web site is already down - and that tells us...

Talkback What a stupid waste of time. How does this even cross the desk of Microlimps managment? Why are they so petty and short sighted to give the kid free press at their own expence. This will be thrown out, and the lawers will be the only ones to gain...
