Even if the offer came in anonymously, its a small pool of bidders
if the price was $5M+.

Google was really dumb not to buy this. But google does not impress too much with marketing.

the name's a good fit for MS; the site now says : As of Friday, July 31, 2009, Office.com will no longer be available..

The name started with "E" and now Microsoft discontinued the whole product.

I would think Apple likes "i" domains better.

Since Microsoft has thing about getting Genuine softwares and all, so I thought it would be better going to them.. aint it?

Genuine.com is already taken by Genuine Technology, so I thought this would be best match for their Genuine program
