Microsoft were apparently considering suing Marks & Spencer (quality UK 
clothing and 
food chain) for infringement of copyright but thought better of it.  M&S's sin? 
 
They named a range of ladies underwear 'microsoft'.  Microsoft decided the 
publicity would be counter-productive and have allowed M&S to use the name as 
long as it is in lower-case.
