I think I remember xant saying once it was so that a google search of "mircrosoft" didnt turn up 13 thousand xbox-scene.com forum threads.  (give or take a few dozen).

and if you really wanted to write Microsoft you could... but making it even just a little difficult is effective enough in keeping this site off any perceived radar scopes...
and people will understand what you mean even with the abbreviation.  But I really agree there is no need for that word to point to this site all the time with any searches.  I wish it was abbr. to MSFT instead of MS cause ms is morgan stanley to me but whatever.
