By doing this and keeping the traffic, it also undercuts Google and Yahoo b/c if those domain requests were fullfilled, undoubtably many of those sites would have been domain parking sites or sites with Google or Yahoo ads on them. IMO, it's all part Micro's plan to undercut Google and Yahoo and boost their own coffers before they launch their own parking platform to regular domainers. Doing this helps level the field a little more in MS's favor.
