Microsoft

look at this website:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/34955.html

i think microsoft have been harsh

so here i go off and register microsof.t

or microsoft.ms

if anyone else is thinking of gettin a similar to ms domain, when ms find it, they will 1st say they will compensate you for the domain, say no, i have spent a lot of time on my site. (if you say yes, they reply with a $10 compensation, then you refuse, they say you bought the domain for selling purposes, they got a reson to sue you for the domain)

then you should get a 2nd email, we will offer you something else, say no, then keep saying no until about 10 emails you will then get a 30 page booklet specially wrote for you from microsofts lawyers, ignore it, then email ms back, and say somethin like i appreciate your concern or something, but i want to keep my site, then you should finally get an email offering you something like $10,000

you say i wish i could, but the other partner in the site wont, then when u get a reply, email bk and say, the other partner has dropped out, i will take you up on this offer as long as you also pay for a new domain

so the key is, be slow with them, so it is not like you registered the domain for selling purposes

This is just like my deal with J.K. Rowling's agent. They're asking for my domain and I'm not giving it to them.
