We recently told you about Guise Bule, a software executive who is daring Microsoft to sue him by launching a virtual desktop service that clearly violates Microsoft's Windows licensing rules.

The service—Desktops On Demand—hasn't gone live yet, but its website has just launched, and those who are interested can sign up for the beta service which is scheduled to be available 32 days from now. Bule, the CEO of virtual desktop vendor tuCloud, says the service will be real. But its main purpose is to serve as a protest of what Bule believes is Microsoft's unfair enforcement of Windows licensing policies.

Controversy in the virtual desktop industry erupted when OnLive started offering a virtual desktop service for the iPad and other devices. The service is free or $5 a month for an upgraded version, prices that are essentially impossible to offer without either violating Microsoft's license rules or taking a loss. Microsoft confirmed that OnLive is violating license rules, but Bule and others are mad Microsoft has allowed OnLive to continue offering the service until a legitimate licensing arrangement is worked out.

Bule came up with Desktops On Demand, a service that would similarly violate Windows licensing rules in order to provide cheap desktops on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, or Linux. Bule called it his "pirate platform." While one might expect Microsoft to take legal action against the service when it launches for real, Bule said he's surprised he hasn't yet heard from Microsoft on the matter. "You would have thought they would reach out to me in some way, but no," he told Ars.

So far, Microsoft has declined to comment publicly on Bule's Desktops On Demand service.
