Positive publicity for themselves, and negative publicity for google. They probally thought it was a perfect plan.

It sounds like the kind of weird and wacky scheme I would hatch.
Like attempting to buy the domain name Microsoft.com (Which,you probably know,failed, because the name is taken)

I already tryed to buy that domain, Microsoft.com many years ago. lol Didnt go well because it, like you said, was taken. But my quest will go on! I will probably get an orkut invite soon so i can see what everyone is talking about. Just like that gmail invite that i am still waiting to get, hint. hint. lol

Finally, someone else who attempts to rip Microsoft off in every possible way, like giving all your mates the same copy of windows 98.

I dont think it matters if the code was really "stolen" or not. Even if google loses the case. Sure some people might be angry, they might lose some money, but google will live on anyway!

Beling, a little hint here, this topic is more than 2 months old. You don't need to put this topic back on top with the reply "agree with u". After a while senior members will annoyed by this kind of posting.

Please don't reply to old topics anymore, unless you have something really usefull to add.
