More Microsofty Goodness

I don't want to turn this blog into an anti-Microsoft rant, but while looking for links for the previous entry, I discovered the following interesting tidbit:

Microsoft prohibits the use of its FrontPage product "in connection with any site that disparages Microsoft".

Here's a link to a Word document ("Microsoft Volume Licensing Product License Rights") which contains the prohibition (and Google's HTML-format cache of the document).

Here's the same restriction on the use of the FrontPage logo. And on the Internet Explorer logo. And the Microsoft Agent logo. And Microsoft Reader. And Windows Media Player. And even the Microsoft logo itself.

Seems like Microsoft has a pretty thin skin when it comes to individuals' opinions.
