Serves 'em right for using a "gimmick domain of the week" for their embedded links instead of a logical subdomain of their main domain, microsoft.com… subdomains don't expire and can't be cybersquatted, and there's only the one main domain at the base of them that you have to worry about renewing.

Nice grab ya gotta admit! What's the DIY way to find GOLD like this? Or drops that are already in engines even? I wrote a little perl bot, but i'm afraid it will quickly wear out its welcome at google and other engines.
Funny how Bill and ALL the Kings Men don't know as much as Daniel R. Tobias (above) about this, eh? Then, maybe they have a registrar who is violating ICANN rules, like mine, and didnt notify'em that it was about to expire and MS couldn't afford the $150 extortion/redemption fee either!
