I think that he should inist for "An authographed picture of Bill Gates" and a voucher for 10 free hours of Microsoft technical support...

I agree, this is just like McDonalds coming down on businesses with the name McDonald in them in Scotland. All he should need to do is to place a prominent link to MS's front page for anyone that accidently get to his page. I do find it funny that MS hadn't nailed down such an obvious domain long ago.
