Talking kinda funny: microsoft sub-domain listed for sale!

Discovered this by accident and I found it kinda funny...
Apparently there is a microsoft subdomain that is parked incorrectly so it shows it's for sale:
http://rebar.one.microsoft.com/
and no, it's not framed, it's a reroute at the dns level apparently.
That sub-domain is also a google-whack (doesn't appear).

By the way, not sure if this has made public news yet, but I happened to hear that microsoft is getting into the domain business for real. The next version of Office will supposedly market domain names directly to the product owners. Not sure how good or bad I feel about that, depends on their pricing - they could undercut EVERYONE if they wanted to...

The funny thing about it, is if you click on Make Offer, you're making an offer on the microsoft.com domain and not on the subdomain.

I wonder where the check for the clicks goes?
Perhaps this was hacked by someone for the income?
