Give it up
I think we can safely assume you do not like MS. BIIIIG Surprise there.
Unfortunately I was asking for just a little common sense here. They Have Office. They want to take it Live. It isn't a big stretch to think OfficeLive.
Now I am sure all of the packaging for OfficeLive Will have Microsoft on it. I could legitamately see suing the pants off of MS if they had never had a product named Office and decided to do this. But they do have a Product named Office. Now MS could turn around and sue these people for the OfficeLive thing themselves since they have a product named Office. Has anyone thought of that?
