All the more reason to hate x-box. I think anyone who'd like to get some money should change their name to Ecks Bocks. What am I sayin'? I have XP!
More reason to get MAC. I can gaurantee we see many more wannabe sites pop up. MicrawSauft.com etc etc
Microsoft: We took MikeRoweSoft too seriously By Munir Kotadia ZDNet (UK) January 20, 2004, 9:30 AM PT Microsoft says it may have been overaggressive in threatening Web entrepreneur Mike Rowe over the name of his Web site, Mikerowesoft.com. Rowe, a 17-year-old student from Vancouver, British Columbia, registered Mikerowesoft.com to front his part-time Web site design business in August 2003. Three months later, he received an e-mail from Microsoft's lawyers, asking him to transfer the domain name to Microsoft. They offered to pay him a "settlement" of $10, which is the cost of his original registration fee. However, after the case received widespread coverage on the Internet, Microsoft acknowledged that it may have taken things too far and promised to treat Rowe fairly. A representative of the software company told ZDNet UK: "We appreciate that Mike Rowe is a young entrepreneur who came up with a creative domain name. We take our trademark seriously, but maybe a little too seriously in this case." -------------------------------- That's freaking hilarious. A kid takes on a giant corporate monster and wins. Common sense refuses to surrender!
I saw that the other day. He basically screwed himself over though by asking for more money. Now he's probably gonna have to turn the site over.
