for some reason redirects to microsofts site

It redirects to an MS site because you (or a program he once executed) has set your browser to redirect to that MS site when an URL cant be found. This is the same as when you type plain text you could also let it redirect to your favorite search engine instead of getting an error message.

In other words: it's because of how your browser is set up.

To correct you; CookieRevised, Microsoft have apparently a PTR on the DNS root servers, which is 'http'.  Just like the guy from EFnet called samy who has the PTR 'ws.'

So, it's not an error, it's a PTR in the root DNS servers.

maybe but then why aren't other people getting it
(and why are there options in some browsers to instead of showing the common error message, redirecting you to certain sites)

Firefox redirects http://http to MS, altho the other browsers probably check for link validity, so they wont accept it.

but standard MSIE on a standard PC also gives your normal "cant find page" error message. Shouldn't that be also redirected then?
