Was just reading about this, pathetic really, in fact I think he should sue back because they are using a partial phonetic derivation of his name

MS are certainly crafty b*stards offering him $10 for the site .. knowing full well he'd up the ante (as anyone would).

His biggest mistake was then to ask Microsoft for $10,000
He played right into their lawyers hands.

There biggest mistake was to assume that this would pass quietly into the night...

There again ICANN rules are there to protects the innocent

Scarlett,

Sorry I meant Big comapanies that can afford to pay the right people so that they can dictate the law as they see fit.

Can't imagine WHY I put innocent

As the hunters who had shot very little were debating about how to cook their prey, one said to the other "I like my crow soft"

Its not as if anyone is going to type in MikeRoweSoft.com and think they are going to Microsoft.com. Nor are they likely to type in MikeRoweSoft.com should they want to get to the MS site and can't spell it properly.
