Oh brother. Watch for Windows Messenger to be re-branded (again) to Windows Today Messenger. They went crazy when they purchased live.com.

xtc2 is an unknown quantity at this point
 
Just to follow-up on the sale of today.com, Elliot mentioned on his blog that there might a possibility finding the sale price appearing in the earnings release which came out back in late July. I haven't been able to find the price after combing through the most recent releases, but was wondering if anyone else has had better luck?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=654428

Source: Elliot's Blog"...As with most private sales of this nature, the sales price probably will not be disclosed, but it is possible that it could appear on a financial report from Microsoft since the company is publicly traded."

Where else would Microsoft take their infinite money besides great domainers pockets and Bill Gates charity stuff
