| From the article: "Microsoft Corp. became the victim of a hoax Thursday when a link to a parody Web page based on one of its 'How to' instructional sites spread rapidly around the Internet via email. The Web site, entitled "HOWTO: Read the F---ing Manual," is a spoof of one of Microsoft's information pages, and aims its caustic and profane comments at users who ask obvious questions about how to use their computers." |

| "Microsoft is investigating the source of the page because some people who receive the link might mistake it for a Microsoft Web page, although it's not clear if the author violated any laws, Sohn said." Well the to the site is down now. |
