    ms.com

    I am pretty much sure www.ms.com used to be an alias of www.microsoft.com, but now it maps to http://www.morganstanley.com/. How often Microsoft sells such a thing?

    Who says they sold it. They could have just forgotten to re-register the domain and never bothered trying to get it back

    Even worse. Forgetting to reregister a domain name and you lose such a valuable domain name!
