This could just be another rumor, but I do love to spread rumors (it came from /. anyway). This article covers recent Microsoft problems overshadowed by the antitrust case; most notably an item in the Frontpage 2002 user agreement that says you can't badmouth Microsoft on Frontpage-generated pages.

"While we're on the subject of license enforcement, let me throw in a term one alert reader just spotted in the license for FrontPage 2002. "You may not use the Software in connection with any site that disparages Microsoft, MSN, MSNBC, Expedia, or their products or services ... " the license reads in part."

While they're at it, why not disallow all the Bill Gates slandering that goes on?

There's also this little tidbit from MS's own Frontpage logo display guidelines:

7. You may not display the Logo on any site that disparages Microsoft or its products or services, infringes any Microsoft intellectual property or other rights, or violates any state, federal, or international law.
