This is different though, the guy's name is "Mike Rowe" and he's a website designer.
a). Microsoft cannot prevent him using his name as part of his domain name, even if it contrevenes their brand.
b). Microsoft doesn't design websites, and you can clearly see from his site that this is his business
c). Microsoft is pinning their case on "the surfer might confuse Microsoft Frontpage and its ability to create web pages with this guy who designs websites". Lame case!
I must say that much as I bet Microsoft wins this, I hope that Mike wins it.
