Turns out Microsoft decided to be the good guy in the end. As I mentioned before, Mike Rowe acquired the domain name mikerowesoft.com, and shortly thereafter the big boys contacted him with demands for him to fork it over, or face a lawsuit. Through an outcry of public opinion and an out-of-court settlement, the two parties reached an agreement which rendered everyone happy: Mike Rowe handed over the domain, and in return Microsoft will buy him a new domain name, supply a free X-Box, as well as provide certification training.

Not too shabby, eh Mike? Source.
