It's strange to me that people still remember this. It's been 14 years, but I guess it's nice to be known for something :)

Every time I say or hear Microsoft, I think of Mike Rowe Soft in my head. Every single time.

The thought of Microsoft still paying for that domain name is funny. I like to imagine they don't dare to stop doing it or they'll risk opening this whole can of worms again.
