I wouldn't mess with Microsoft, IMHO. They are the kind of company that would go after anything they see as a TM or copyright infringement...

If the registrant is also US-based.

FYI, Microsoft was finally shown the line in the sand for the mocosoft.com

I don't think that these would be common typos that people would make to start with. With micresoft, the "e" typo is nowhere near the "o" on the keyboard, so it wouldn't be a likely error that people would make.

My theory on typos is that they are common mistakes, like typing "d" instead of "s" for example. Plus, I really do not like typos anyway. They don't have any value, and can also infringe on copyrights & trademarks.

Do not mess with Microsoft, you don't want to be sued.

While we're discussing Microsoft typos, here are a couple of .coms taken from my master list of available names. If anyone is going to go for it, .coms are a better bet in my opinion.

mivtodogy.com
mivotsogy.com

NP$ are appreciated if you reg these.

I once registered questionable domains just to see what kind of response I will get from companies, that was a great learning experience.

I don't know how MS can sue someone for making a website with their own name in it. Lots of people make a company name after their name.

The trick is being able to prove that people won't mistake your site for that of
microsoft when they search for the latter, moreso commercially exploiting the
