Weird Windows 7/Windows 8 Dual Boot problem

I will make things even easier.
This is the copyright string in "easyldr" extracted using strings.exe(sysinternals):

I think that Neosmart is breaking copyright law pretending that easyldr is a Neosmart product.

Brink, gregrocker I need your answer - is Neosmart violating copyright law ?

I don't think Microsoft has given a license to Neosmart to rename ntldr to easyldr and sell it as its own product.
Why would Microsoft leave its copyright notice in a product given to another company ?

Boyans,

I think that this should be a debate between Microsoft and EasyBCD/NeoSmart if it is instead. Until it is declared to be so by Microsoft, there will be no issue recommending to use this program here at Seven Forums.


For now, let's stop hijacking this thread, and get back to helping Hansen with his issue shall we. :)
