I always notice microsoft.com on these lists and don't understand how it gets so much traffic. What am I missing?

  Random thought: default IE home page.

      I thought it went to Microsoft.com/go?fwlink= etc. And them pushed you to wherever (no idea if that counts, but if it did it could explain it)

  Some of the obvious things that come to mind are: programming help, MSDN, Windows OS information and comparison between flavors, MS Office info and comparison between flavors, support, product help etc. These things all add up considering that they are on 90+% of desktops.

  Relatedly, I thought it was interesting that Microsoft owns #3, #5, #6, #13, #23, #26, and #30 (as well as a chunk of #1).
