Microsoft doesn't like your name

Shouldn't you be creating operating systems that crash every five minutes?

Like any good fledgling businessperson, Mike Rowe knew he needed a catchy name for his website design company. Being possessed of a sense of humour and the cheekiness of a typical 17 year old and given his name, what better than to register his Internet domain name as mikerowesoft.com?
As in, but not quite, Microsoft Corp.

"Since my name is Mike Rowe, I thought it would be funny to add 'soft' to the end of it," the Victoria Grade 12 student said.


But the folks at the world's biggest software company aren't smiling. They've demanded he give up his domain name.
