I think it is better to not have a unique name but a unique product. Than to be like Microsoft and have a unique name but a product that was initially taken from another company.

Of course my first reaction is to be on the side of the little guy, the 17 year old kid in this story who’s name is Mike Rowe- I’m offended initially that Microsoft is egotistical as to try intimidate this person out of using his own name. It seems like bullying and infringement on Mike Rowe’s rights. The problem is, he added the word soft. It is obviously a play on the word Microsoft. He is associating his product with the product of Microsoft. While I still have sympathy for Mr. Rowe ultimately, I believe he is wrong. He can not knowingly associate his company with another company even in the spirit of a pun and humor. The reputation of both companies is at stake and Microsoft has much more to lose. Microsoft really can’t afford to let anyone or everyone ride on thier coat tails to fame. If Mr. Rowe wants to build a company like Microsoft he should come up with his own ideas and use a unique company name the same as Mr. Gates did when he started out.

If Microsoft accually sees Mike Rowe as a potential opposition, maybe they should offer the man a position with them.
