Microsoft takes on teen's site MikeRoweSoft.com

Glad to see Microsoft protecting their corporate investment. [Roll Eyes]

Microsoft offering him $10 dollars doens't even pay for registration fees. [Roll Eyes]

I would have been mad and upped the ante too! [Big Grin]

Hope he makes a couple of bucks and learns a few lessons along the way! [Smile]

Since this is a fairly big news item, Microsoft will recieve nothing but bad publicity from it by being painted as the stingy corporate bully and Mike Rowe will get a lot of free advertising and publicity from it. So in the end whether he gets any money from Microsoft or not, he will probably benefit from it and Microsoft gets another black eye to add to their long list of black eyes.
