    I suggest you build a site around it and the value could be how much you are willing to negotiate with MS on TM issues. If you are good I would say XX,XXX or else ICANN will give it back to MS.

    I have a terrible fear micro soft would step in.
    Last I saw they had 2091 trademarks copy written
    Surface was not one of them
    Unfortunatly ms is
    I wouldnt touch them or the apple. Palm could be generic but I wouldnt touch that one as well.
    Sorry just my opinion

    Sorry friend but don't know why I am feeling that Microsoft will not like this. This is TM issue.

    I would say, develop a quick site and sell it. Because trademark
    issues make them worthless - Ask the guy that owned
    MikeRoweSoft.com - the guy's real name (Michael Rowe) he develops
    game software-yet MS took him to court and needless to say
    he lost :-/

    I have to agree regging those was a waste.

    Nobody really told me if I could at least get anything out of them or now; I appreciate the remarks about TM issues however, only one person answered my question. The rest well, didnt.

    There is always someone that would buy it but I would not do it. I would sell it for reg fee if you can get it but then theres a question of ethics.

    Not really, if you play with fire as they say, you will get burned. I didn't think about TM issues so ethics aren't even issue if I need to get it off of my hands.
