Never put it beyond Microsoft to cybersquat

Microsoft proves it's possible to be a multi-billion dollar company and a cybersquatter at the same time! Where do you think whitepsp.com leads to?

Now - If i registered www.thebestofficesoftware.com and pointed it towards the linux variaety M$ wouldbe on my back with a law suite in 5 nano seconds flat.

Looks like it's one rule for one and one for another.

Wow, M$ sues... But at the same time M$ supports Fake Recycling and is permitted to Create waste products to advertise by Un-Addressed Junk Mail in my country, and without fully protected Trademarks as required by Law. The EPA basicly allows M$ to dump un-addressed junk mail into my real world mail box without restrictions. I Guess M$ pays well. Some other wonders like this include Apple who like M$ claim on their web sites they do not take part in Waste Generation by reduction of packing materials. It is sad how many USA companies use Print Media to do one thing, while claiming another.. Must be good to have laws generated simply to create profits.. Then again why not just rig an election or two like IBM does by doing business deals with companies who stand to profit at change of governments (ever notice how the old M$ supported Print Media has no laws, can print anything, and supports waste generation = above and beyond the law) :)
