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.

    This is completely offtopic, but can someone give me a slight history of trolltalk? I just found out about it, and every single post there seems to be automatic crapflood posts. From what I read, there was at one time actual discussions there. What happened to that? When did it transform into the unreadable crapflooded mess that it is?

    thanks

    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.
