Someone just brought this to my attention. Normally, when you do a whois on microsoft.com, you get the normal info, site owner, contact info, etc...but l just did it a few minutes ago, and got this:

[iceberg.local]$ whois microsoft.com

[whois.internic.net]

Whois Server Version 1.3

Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.

The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and
Registrars.


What do you think? Did MS get a sense of humor, or is this another "hack"?
