well I see other extensions of longhorn are already taken.

longhorn.com was created in 1997. So maybe Bill Gates did not have a choice in registering the .us tld.

besides, longhorn will not be the name of the new operating system...

They probably registered longhorn.us, big difference.

oops right registered, looks like they go it at landrush opening day.


Im just surprised they go promoting longhorn as the biggest thing in the last 10 years without buying any others ,,,i would think they would quietly but others before telling the owners of the other extensions your property just skyrocked overnight,,,,
