Micrososft, sorry, Microsoft, blundered into spell-check shock territory during the latest batch of updates.

There's quite a bit of online laughter at the mistake, in which the software giant mis-spelled its own domain name in one of the update notifications presented by Windows Update:

FAIL! :p
On a more serious note, does the link direct to the actual site? If it doesn't, then maybe we could by the domain and have a load of new visitors! :biggrin:

If we did do that, I'm sure we wouldn't get much since only about 1% of people read those things, even if somethings wrong they'd be like "oh, didn't work, let's play COD" :lolz:

Maybe Bill Gates doubled his money so he decided to add an extra $ to the name, hence, Micro$o$ft was born.
