There's a big difference between subdomains, and domains with letters in front
of "microsoft".
\.microsoft\.com$ will match anything ending in ".microsoft.com"
That means it will match www.microsoft.com and cdn.microsoft.com for example,
but it will not match kajsdhfkjasghdskghlaskfhmicrosoft.com or onmicrosoft.com
The dot in front of "microsoft" in the regex is important :)
