image thumb22 Microsoft now owns Office.com domain, another step to bring Office to the cloud

If Microsoft was really thinking about taking Office to the cloud, the idea to have a domain for it was a likely move. Reports today have confirmed that Microsoft has bought the office.com domain name.  The domain has been used by ContactOffice, a Belgian startup which uses it to market office solutions online. The price for this buyout remains undisclosed but I can bet that the owner has fetched a very healthy amount for this.
