Forgive me, genuinely interested - how does 1-bit difference turn microsoft into mic2soft.. ?

  In ASCII, microsoft is: 0110110101101001011000110_1_1100100110111101110011011011110110011001110100 micr2soft is: 0110110101101001011000110_0_1100100110111101110011011011110110011001110100 The important bit is the one between the underscores.

    Gotcha - thank you.

    I think the question is made more relevant when taking into account that the poster above omitted the 'r' ("mic2soft"), thus causing the name to be shortened which is, indeed, very hard to call a 1-bit error.
