You may not agree but I find this hilarious. I noticed that I had 342 hits from a corporate Microsoft address today from around 12:15 to 12:30 (lunch time). See tide007.microsoft.com:

Looking through the log I see the first hit was my wireless web server main page:

http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net:81/

and all the rest of the hits were the blackjack game linked to on the main page with the title of "case Microsoft Employee: Practice Innovating()":

http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/blackjack/

Does anyone else find humor in this? At least one person there can follow instructions. :) This almost has to be a setup!

They're scared of you.:P
Did you run any traces to see who they were or where they were coming from?

I can only tell that they came through one of the proxy/firewalls at Redmond and this is their user agent:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Tablet PC 1.7; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)

Tablet PC hehe.

I think all Microsoft Operating Systems turn machines into tablet PC's because the only way you can handle all the bull hockey without loosing all your mind is with lots of medication.

so, you think they took your advice seriously? perhaps your "microsofty honeypot" successfully diverted them away from your real website content! :-D
