Microsoft doesn't want .mobi and .tel ?

Microsoft owns WindowsClient.com, net, info, org, biz, jp... But why they did not register .mobi and .tel ?

Um, my guess is they don't want every blooming domain in every blooming extension of every blooming product, sub product, edition etc, etc.

But not to worry.

They have used and advertised and promoted microsoft in using a .mobi in European markets.

I am sure they would be happy to know that you expressed their concern.

What other 260+ ccTLD extensions did they not register?

man, you do come out with some dumb posts
not once, but twice, at namepros too

for .tel why would they need anything but 1? if at all?
its a contact page and a defensive reg if used, on just microsoft

.mobi is a different kettle of fish
i know of three stand alone .mobi sites they are using for new products, services.


www.MSVirtualization.mobi
www.MSans.mobi

They just updated this site again
www.GetTag.mobi
promotion on their pc site: http://www.microsoft.com/tag/content/why/

these are ones we know of. my guess is they will bring some more out for mobilized sites and more for new products etc like they are doing

its actually the contrary with .mobi thats the irony. they havent bothered with the .com or anything else lol for some of their mobi sites

now think before posting lol
