\"TheBecause, after all, a certain Redmond software company should naturally <\/i>be concerned that a home-based web design outfit in Canada run by a high school kid named Mike Rowe — and, thus, cleverly named Mikerowesoft<\/a> — might confuse people into thinking that it was really a Seattle-based computer-industry-dominating multi-zillion-dollar firm run by a college drop-out named Bill Gates — cleverly named Micro$oft. <\/p>\n

Thus, it’s only natural <\/i>a flock of lawyers would start sending cease-and-desist letters and claiming Rowe is trying to blackmail the corporate behemoth<\/a> for thousands — thousands<\/i>, if you can believe it — of dollars (Canadian, at that!).<\/p>\n
