Can I get Microsoft to pay using my initials?

Engadget is talking about Microsoft developing something called OPM which is some sort of a video squeeze play. (Not sure what it means, since I don’t bother with Windows!) But the question is that my initials OPM are exactly the same… Can I go for some of those $33 billion in Microsoft’s bank account? (Hey this is a lame attempt at humor, so please save the flames for something else!)

Om,
OPM, eh? OPM also is the short form for ‘other people’s money’;) I’m sure that was not on your mind;)

Cheers!!
