Microsoft registered two related domain names with Sony

July 18 News, according to foreign media reports, Microsoft registered two Sony-related sites after the domain name caused a lot of speculation about Microsoft's cooperation with Sony.　　However, Microsoft later said it was a purely defensive acquisition of the domain name. Microsoft has registered two domain names for www.microsoft-sony.com and www.sony-microsoft.com. However, these two domains are currently pointing only at Microsoft's own Bing search engine. However, this action raises some comments.　　There are rumours that Sony Ericsson is planning to launch a smartphone based on Windows Phone.　　It is common for businesses to buy domain names that contain their own brands as a defense against domain name speculators. It was this issue that affected the company after Sony Ericsson was established in April 2011. A www.sonyericsson.com domain name has forced Sony Ericsson to use longer www.sonyericssonmobile.com domain names in about a year. Sony Ericsson received its preferred domain name in early 2002.
