Dear itsme,

I am a Software Design Engineer with Microsoft on the Windows Mobile product

team. We recently discovered that your site has an unauthorized copy of our

Windows Mobile 5.0 software. These files are proprietary to Microsoft, and

include internal test items that are not intended to be released to the public.

Microsoft would greatly appreciate it if you would quickly remove and destroy

these files from your site. If you have any questions, please feel free to

contact me.

------------------------------------------

you say 'an unauthorized copy'?

which of the wm2005 copies is unauthorized?

a quick look reveals these files or directories with wm2005 versions:

BlueAngel/Programs/win_mobile_2005_beta

Win2k5

Himalaya2005

Uploads/Blueangel/Win_Mobile_2005

Uploads/Himalaya/Uploads2005

Uploads/smartphone/SmartphoneC500Magnetofixedbyrosebud.rar

smartphones/Typhoon/SmartphoneC500Magneto.zip

smartphones/Typhoon/SmartphoneC500Magneto-other-tools.zip

( i will move them now to a temporary inaccessible directory, and delete the unauthorized ones as soon as i read your reply )

and, can you provide my with some proof that you are in fact from microsoft?

and not someone with a hotmail address.

by sending a real email to my itsme@xs4all.nl address

Hi Willem,

Thanks for following up. We have been trying to make contact on some of the

older files; however I personally have just started assisting our legal and PR

team as I actively monitor select forums. Currently there are no devices

publicly available with Windows Mobile 5.0 software. All files containing

Windows Mobile 5.0 images should be considered proprietary. These files should

be removed and destroyed.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
