Sounds like everyone (i.e. all Micoshaft Customers, Micoshaft Partners
and product manufacturers who support Micoshaft Products and users
who use Micoshaft crap products) must make a concerted effort to eliminate
support for micoshaft products from all its shelves or risk being sued by
Micoshaft Corporation.

I can't see any future for Micoshfat products on the shelves any
more as Micoshaft turns to suing its customers and supporters.
