  I didn't look too closely, but it seemed like the LinuxToday.com article was
a crock.  They were doing a

        whois microsoft.com

and pointing to the output as proof of a crack.  (This is, of course, not how
WHOIS works -- that simply searches for anything that *starts* with
MICROSOFT.COM).  You can do

        whois linux

with similar effects.
