TV microsoft wants to sue this guy, they offered him US$10 for
the name.
Apparently its a breach of copyright

If Mike Rowe isn't careful, MS will not only buy his domain name, but will buy Mike himself along with his family, all the land they stand on, and everything they have touched, and then hit the delete button.
Micro$oft is God here, and nobody dare speak the name without paying money to Bill Gates.
I look forward to the day when I eat Micro$oft food with a Micro$oft fork, and sleep in a Micro$oft bed.

I dont think there is anything they can do really. After all Mike Rowe
can sue Microsoft for using part of his name in their name... How funny
would that be..
