My point is just that we shouldn't do it at the cost of our own  
language. So, lets not put their marketing above that. :-)

And I never heard a single complaint of IBM being named "ИБМ" in here,  
or "Microsoft" being transliterated to "Микрософт". So, I don't think  
they mind too much, as long as you use the products of those companies,  
and pay for them :-)
