Sighris said:someone correct me if I am wrong but shouldn't it say "Microsoft is..." instead of "Microsoft are..."I'd agree, but I have a feeling some Newshound will drop the AP Stylebook on our heads. I'd usually use "are" if it was a discrete team rather than a corporation as a whole, but both are probably OK.It's a UK vs. US thing. In the UK, they refer to sports teams, corporations, bands, etc., as if they were plural nouns, e.g., "Spinal Tap are going back on tour!"
