Submission + - Portugese company to auction off "Microsoft (theregister.co.uk)
traycerb writes: A Portuguese company, named Microsoft Lda, and unrelated to the Balmer/Gates/et al institution,
is selling the Portugese rights to the Microsoft name on ebay. As the article says:
"The company registered its title locally in back in 1981, long before Microsoft Corp penetrated the Portuguese market. Since the Beast of Redmond is accordingly not allowed to call itself Microsoft in the land of fado and pasteis de nata, it lurks behind the MSFT moniker."
"MSFT?" How is that even pronounced?
