THE MISSING LINK
Xbox marks the spot for Mike Rowe

Remember how 17-year-old Mike Rowe stood his ground when Microsoft told him to give up his Web site address (MikeRoweSoft.com) or else? Critics thought Gates and company were a little heavy-handed in their response to Mike's site name. So, instead of going to court, Microsoft went to the closet where the free stuff is. The company will give Mike an Xbox, money to cover his move to another domain, a free trip to the Microsoft Research Tech Fest in March, and free certification training. Mike took it all. The moral of this story? "If we can't beat you, join us." Oh, and, "Giving away stuff can save you lots of legal fees."
