In the 2+ years we've run the site we have never even received an email from Microsoft. I assume they understand that we are one big commercial for them. The previous owner claimed that he spoke with a VP of marketing at Microsoft and they said that it was fine to develop the domain, however, we were never able to verify this.

We're looking for offers in the mid xx,xxx area for the domain name & site, but will consider offers on the site separate from the domain name.

Traffic on the site is fairly consistent, and due to the nature of the traffic does take a hit when college lets out.

The site gets crawled pretty heavily. To give an example, here are some of the spider stats for this month:

Like I've mentioned in pm's revenue is pretty negligible, maybe $50 a month, this was a hobby site and something to distract from "work" rather than the focus of "work".

I've been having serious problems connecting to DNforum, so please excuse the delay of my replies.
