From: Robert X. Cringley's column:

 Then I got to playing around with FrontPage 97 and Personal Web Server, and
I came across a couple of hard-coded example URLs. Try navigating to
http://www.corp.com or http://www.company.com. You'll navigate to two domains
owned, coincidentally, by a small-business man who was inundated with hits
(sort of like publishing your home phone number in a user manual). In
revenge, the gentleman redirected the URL to a rather risque site. Word is
that Microsoft is "looking into" the matter and that the owner of the domain
names would be happy to sell them to Bill and Co.
