It appears you have no idea what you are talking about.

None of which are within the namespace of the 'microsoft.com' domain. This is normal and expected behaviour. Your whois query searches for the _substring_ 'microsoft.com' and returns all matches. If I owned the domain 'example.net' I could set up a record 'thrupoint.net.makes.a.really.bad.example.net' and a whois query for the substring 'thrupoint.net' would later find it. It would _not_ be a sign that I somehow managed to hack the whois servers. It would only show that within the namespace of a domain I own I can put whatever names I damn well please.
