Default Microsoft Lawyers Threaten 17-year old Mike Rowe

http://www.theregister.com/content/6/34955.html

"In what could easily be mistaken for an Onion story, Microsoft has unleashed the full fury of its lawyers on 17-year-old Canadian high-school student, Mike Rowe, demanding the handover of his Internet domain. The domain? MikeRoweSoft.com. No, seriously. Victoria-based Mike is currently studying maths and chemistry and plans to study computer science at Victoria University next year. He registered the domain in August because he thought it would be cool to have a site that sounded like the famous company to show his Web designing skills..."

I'm a pretty big fan of Microsoft, and I dislike the mindless Microsoft bashing I often see, but this is utterly insane and Microsoft Canada should be ashamed of what they're doing. :devilboy:
