I think Microsoft is 100% correct. I read the article. He intentionally used the parody cause it sounds like Microsoft. If his intention wasn't to sound like Microsoft then the name wouldn't be that important. Its like people who create characters that look very similar to copyrighted characters then claim they weren't copying. He intended the name because it sounds like Microsoft. How is that not capitalizing on a name? Plus he ups and tries to sell the name to them for $10k. If he had no intention of capitalizing on the name sounding like Microsoft then he wouldn't make a fuss about not using the name.
