- qxcbr 7y agoRight? If you asked me, I'd say that domain "microsoftedgeinsider.com" belongs to some Indian scamming call centre. For what reason have they purchased that domain instead of hosting it under microsoft.com ?
- anoncake 7y agoBuying a domain was easier than dealing with the MS department of subdomains of microsoft.com?
- BlackRing 7y agoI would have believed that if it were HP. Snark aside, it is unusual behavior coming from Microsoft.

- londons_explore 7y agoHosting things under microsoft.com is bad for security. One xss attack anywhere on the domain can steal cookies for the whole domain. As a web developer, I only want to build to the security level my site needs, not the security needed for Microsoft logins.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoThey must own the .microsoft TLD.
- technion 7y agoI'm having trouble digging it up now but at one point there was a domain associated with promoting Exchange 2003 that Microsoft let go of. It was still linked from all their docs but the new owner had it redirected to a Youtube with a fly fishing tutorial. Strangest hijack I've ever seen.
- saagarjha 7y agoMicrosoft seems to have a history of picking very poor domain names.
- nailer 7y agoGoogle does the same. withgoogle.com?
