The .ba extension doesn't seem to be well supported by various who is engines, but the IP address that responds when pinged is 69.73.174.253, and is apprently owned by Landis Holdings, not Microsoft. It seems someone registered the MS name with a relatively obscure extension.

Some background, what exactly happened here? I mean other than the various Linux mascots in a picture.
