Will Microsoft take on Verisign?

[Dag-ErlingSmørgrav]

One of Internet Explorers more annoying features is the MSN search
page that shows up (instead of an error message) when you type in a
URL referencing a non-existent host or domain.

Now, of course, if you mistype a .com or .net domain, you get
Verisign's Sitefinder instead of the MSN search page.  This robs
Microsoft of significant amounts of traffic.  I suspect they have very
interesting and lucrative uses for the statistics generated from
search engine logs, so this is likely not a trivial matter for them.

So how long do you expect it'll take before Microsoft starts throwing
its weight around in the Sitefinder debate?
