  OOPS: Microsoft forgot to register Windows 7 domains
Time: 08:29 EST/13:29 GMT | News Source: APC Mag | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft may have given its next-gen Windows a proper name (even if it’s the same as the previous ‘Windows 7’ cypher), but it’s missed out registering many domain names connected with Vista’s successor.

It certainly seems the company’s local office  dropped the ball by failing to grab windows7.com.au and windows7.net.au.

The former was snapped up by the folks behind the very popular xpmediacentre.com.au community site, while Gavin Howard from IT training agency Which Training was quick off the mark to snatch up Windows7.net.au.

Sorry but who really gives a **** about .com.au domains??

Microsoft own the trademark and copyrights etc for "Windows 7" thus whoever tries to use this in anything (i.e. domain names) will probably feel the weight of Microsoft's legal department.
