AFAICS, it sounds completely impossible to me. Your website is deriving benefit (attention) from the use of the trademarked term "Microsoft". FWIW, to me this looks like a pretty clear-cut case of trademark infringement, and I would encourage you to get competent legal advice regarding your local trademark law. FWIW, even if you're confident that it would not be ruled a trademark infringement by a court, the dispute policies of most domain registrars today make it trivial for Microsoft to seize the domain from you. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
