Don't know why microsoft bought it , but probably it might have been the fact that INDRP takes time and they might be wanting to purchase it without much neg. hype . In India , INDRP is one of the worst things with India lacking a proper online trademark database , and the fact that fines are pretty stiff even when not warranted.It's sometimes an arbitrary process.
Regarding windows7help.com ,as mentioned above " Tread extremely carefully."
