Microsoft suffers from amnesia?

The Register tells the story of how hotmail.co.uk wasn't renewed of the software gigant. Lucky for Gates and Co the domain was picked up by a serious and kind man who took contacts with Microsoft. But they didn't answer him. Until Reg did ask what the f... they was doing there was some movement.

1999 did Microsoft forgot to renew the Passport-domain. Michael Chaney was paying for it and at a glance he owned of the Redmond-biz own securitydomain.

As if this wasn´t enough Microsoft lost track of parts of some of their source code for Windows 2000. Even if it's just about 600 megs of code there might be a big flaw and the consequense might be much more developed viruses.
