look at this website:

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
