Fuck Microsoft

So, Microsoft registrated some top level domains, like MICROSOFT, XBOX, WINDOWS, AZURE, BING and HOTMAIL, as we can see here: http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-string...

But they didn't add any content yet. So, just a joke showing "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page".

The Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page is presumably on your localhost?

Haha might want to turn that off...

No, the name resolves to a local address, so you're seeing the default page for the machine your browser is running on.

Jesus, why do they need Bing and especially Hotmail TLDs? Bing is hardly used by anyone and I thought Hotmail was retired in favor of outlook.com.

would be pretty awesome if they made it so if you have an xbox live account you get Username.xbox for your xbox profile page or something

BTW http://nic.microsoft/ Edit: You can use nic infront of pretty much all of microsofts ones

It is part of the ICANN-mandated "controlled interruption" phase of launching a new TLD before production usage. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/name-collision-2013-12...

It's the same for .meme, which is owned by Google if I'm not mistaken.
