With lawsuit looming over me from a small time shop, I'm in a lawsuit type of mood so I thought it might be nice to sue Microsoft.
This page contains their description of dSupport. Aside from being an interesting read, I noticed in their screen shot of dSupport that THEY HAVE A REGISTERED COPY. It is registered to "Contoso Support" ... Point being, I've NEVER issued a registration to "Contoso Support" ... (people who know how my registration works will know that the company name appearing there is bound to the product key and CANNOT be changed - an unregistered copy would display Foolish IT / UNREGISTERED in the title bar.) So they reverse engineered my program to forge a product key and registration information for the screen shot!

You can see a square block of pixelation around the business name, it must be just a Photoshop job

I'm certain that's what it is. Photoshopping a name isn't that hard...and they very likely wouldn't want to show "Foolish IT / UNREGISTERED" in the title bar, either. |

Hehe I guess that could be, I didn't look closely as the who image looked very low res and blocky to me. Maybe I could just get away with sending them a bill for $75 lol.

Hmm, why not? But I think with all the BS you have been through with them for this program I would add at least one zero to the end of the price.

I did provide them with some very colorful and useful feedback which Im sure will be ignored.
