Microsoft dodges a booger bullet

There's been a lot of discussion about the recent decision by a WIPO arbitration panel to deny Microsoft's claim to the domain name mocosoft.com. The MSM articles that I've seen (such as this one in The Register) focus on the difference in sound between micro and moco, but there's a much greater gap in meaning. Is this a fight that Microsoft really should have wanted to win? Trevor at kalebeul has a relevant song, with a midi file so that you can sing along.
