Microsoft is putting a Tupperware-style twist on the upcoming Windows 7 rollout -- launching a new initiative to encourage thousands of employees, partners and technology enthusiasts to throw parties in their homes and communities to demonstrate and help spread the word about its new operating system.
People accepted as official launch party hosts will get their own copy of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, and a chance to win a computer. But unlike the Tupperware model, there will be no literal selling. These parties are more about generating word-of-mouth buzz.

Malware authors have used Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques to mix rogue search results in with legitimate results. For example, one of the rogue links is directly under a MSDN blog entry discussing Microsoft Security Essentials. The rogue redirects are hosted on compromised Web sites, including a Canadian publisher's Web site and the British Travel Health Association.
When a user browses to the compromised Web sites, so long as they have been referred by a search engine, they are redirected to malicious Web sites with domain names such as computer-scanner21 and computervirusscanner31.

We have had our website up for many years now and it is a niche website. Before no one was really interested in our topic, but now it is becoming more popular, some big websites are copying changing a few words and reposting as their own.
Now in many ways it doesnt worry us because we ahve a lot more information and rank No. 1 for our search terms. This has been for many years.
Should we be worried about duplicate content? Will we be penalised for it? I have read that Google is able to use it's algorythim to see this, does this mean they will be penalised? We don't mind competition as it helps us too, stops us from being lazy
