  1. Before You say good-bye to Microsoft:
    http://people.debian.org/~rmh/goodbye-microsoft/screenshots/, the last screenshot - is’t that just beautiful? Nice typesetting, carefully choosen tab stops, custom tailored line-heights, perfectly tuned kernings - everybody can see that somebody must have been working really-really hard to build that visually appealing First Screen of really lovely Debian Installer interface. The devil is in the details.

  2. Why would Microsoft issue a C&D? Are they violating any laws with this website?

  3. I’m pretty sure the word “Microsoft” is a registered trademark, and using it in a domain name like this could conceivably make a lawyer cranky. I’m not saying that’s good or right or that they’d win, but there it is.

  4. I don’t believe there is sufficient potential for confusion — eg, someone actually thinking that goodbye-microsoft.com is operated by Microsoft — that this could be a problem. And even if Microsoft thought they had a valid complaint, they probably know better than to give something like this the press exposure that would result from giving them grief about it.

    The tab stops… now there is a problem!
