Ah. sorry, it's my physics jargon. Roman u is substituted for
Greek (mu) which is of course (?) the abreviation for micro,
as well as the usual character to indicate the mu meson.
So you will see um written for micrometre, uSR for muon spin
resonance, even uscope for microscope. I'll be more careful
in future. Maybe "u$oft" would be a good compromise?

I think there's a good case for suing for their constant disregard
for even trivially obvious safety issues, but with infinite amounts
of money and armies of legal thugs, Gates owns the courts in the
US, and even the government couldn't afford to sue successfully,
as the pathetic results of the antitrust suit illustrate.
