Microsoft Slaps Its Most Valuable Professional

Posted by kdawson on from the schizophrenic-is-one-word-for-it dept.

Violent Offender writes with a touching story in The Register about Microsoft's awarding of its Most Valuable Professional credential to a British hobbyist, Jamie Cansdale, then turning around and threatening him with a lawsuit for the very software that won him the award. The article links to the amazing correspondence from Microsoft on Cansdale's site.

    Does anyone else find the name of the legal firm (or is it the laywer as well?) "Olswang" rather amusing? or is it just my immature sense of humor?

    Well, we all know trolls are hopelessly stupid and can only read Slashdot at 800 x 600, so to him, it must look much bigger.
