I keyed a word into Firefox today (the latest version) and it went to the wikipedia page for that word. Then I went to IE7 and it did the same thing. Other words did the same thing.
Maybe I don't have enough espresso in me yet, but didn't the browsers used to pop a .com at the end of the word and display the [word.com] site? Maybe I'm not just remembering correctly.
If so, this is not good for a percentage of the type-in traffic for names that rely on that. I've never purchased a name based upon the browser plugging a .com after the name, just in case things changed in the future (and everything does).
