"Microsoft is pursuing five alleged UK-based cybersquatters in its battle against firms and individuals who have registered variations or misspellings of its key brands, such as Xbox.
It is already pursuing hundreds of lawsuits in the US and is now keen to extend its reach in Europe. It marks a toughening in the way the software giant deals with the issue of cybersquatting. It is also calling for a tightening in the way domain names are registered."
bbc: Microsoft Hits 'Cybersquatters'
Well, does not Microsoft ‘squat’
on resources so that those who need them will have to be wage-enslaved by them
in order to be given a portion of the said resources? Why does Billy boy complain when other do
unto him that which they do unto others? Paying out the 'cybersquatters', I dare say, is a small price to pay for a system that benefits Billy momentously more. How about some equity in this inequitable state of affairs Billy.

I have friends at MSft, in a variety of levels. I almost worked there about 7 years ago, but I have a kid to raise and didn't think the 20-22 hour work days were going to help me do that. Based on all the complaining I hear from said friends... I made the right decision.
I can't stand MSft, not only for their bullying corporate tactics, but they are completely skewing the housing market, making it damn near impossible to afford anything around here.
Ironically (or not) I'm an Apple fan. Talk about a square peg woman in a round hole world. Altho, the rumors I've heard about Apple and the iPhone name... they aren't so great either.
