He almost got sued I think because his site was too close to "microsoft.com"; Microsoft's lawyers were all over him. (I'm pretty sure)

That's hilarious.

Let me get this straight..the guy's name is Mike Rowe and he runs a software company (I think), so his domain is mikerowesoft.com, and they tried to sue him over that? lmao

He must have tooken advantage of the benefits of saying, "I'm CEO of MikeRoweSoft"..heh
