As of two days ago, Microsoft has been indeed confirmed to be the new owners of the Office.com domain

The transition of this valuable domain from its previous owners ContactOffice Group – an European company specializing in virtual office solutions since the late 90s – to Microsoft seemed to have occurred on August 4 2009 as the domain’s Whois record notes.

One would be wise to assume Microsoft paid quite a pretty penny for this rare single-noun and vowels-intact domain that now make its Office Web application suite far more convenient to remember and access. The current Office URL, http://office.microsoft.com, never quite rolled off the tongue.

Now’s a good time as any to start F5-ing the site for updates.

Watch Slowly What Happens  – This is true. I hope this is a new news form all of you

The Picture Will be Changing
