Thats just totally amazing!!

In short Micoshaft Marketing are hood winking the IT Admin
by creating materially false report and reviews across
the length and breadth of the Internet.

Its the same old monopoly hoodwiking in the same old way
the same old IT Admins despite all the anti-trust convictions.

What I say is this - MAKE SURE THE DAMGES ARE x10 NEXT TIME!!!!!
And back date the convictions to allow damages to be collected
from the first day the truly fcked up lies being injected
into the media began.

There is no reason for the courts to be lenient with micoshaft
corporation and its re-offending business practices.

That's why you have to find a way to "open the kimono".
