I would think someone with over 400 posts would know better than this.

Besides that, you can't charge paypal fees to the buyer, it's against their TOS.

Can anyone say UDRP?

(UDRP=Trademark lawsuit at ICANN)

Err, I can't. How exactly is that supposed to be pronounced ;)

This isn't a smart move at all - why would you even register a domain like this, when this is in the news: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=13514

Keep in mind that Bill Gates is very defensive of the MS image. If this got in the wrong hands... that post above about a lawsuit would become a reality, I'm sure.

*shrug*, if they really care about it that bad, then I'll just hand it over. Not that big of a deal.

They will only begin to care about it once the domain has some content.
