sorry of course of course you are right.
"remember, domain names read backwards...."

that´s why i don´t understand that entrance in whois. i only typed:
$ whois microsoft.com

which is the most right part of the domain, or not?
If not i don´t understand that whois at all, it seems. :/

can somebody explain that a bit please?
