Microsoft has the domain names Microsoft-sony.com and Sony-microsoft.com registered. It is not yet clear whether the registration is the harbinger of cooperation between the two companies, nor on any site that should be.
Both Sony-microsoft.com if Microsoft-sony.com since this week in the name of Microsoft. It is unclear why Microsoft the domain names registered. As far as is known, Microsoft has no similar domain names for other joint ventures in the contract. Microsoft-yahoo.com has been registered, but by Yahoo. After a 2008 acquisition of Yahoo by Microsoft failed, were these two companies in 2009, a ten year collaboration.
Although it is plausible that the new domain names also to a partnership point out, there is nothing known about it. The concerns are in a number of areas aartsrivalen, such as in the area of game consoles: an agreement at this point seems unlikely.
On the internet is speculation about the arrival of a new Windows Phone 7 device, by Sony Ericsson released would be. Also a cooperation in the field of televisions, and the advent of Windows 8 to Sony-laptops as options mentioned. The registration was discovered by a member of the Neogaf forum.
