netscum.dk is different, looks like a site that somebody's set up as a joke. If you do a whois on those domains, you'll find that Wingtip and Tailspin are both actually owned by MS, whereas Netscum is owned by someone else.

tailspintoys and wingtiptoys are sample dummy domains Microsoft like to use in their documentation, so they're almost-jokes.

netscum.dk, on the other hand, belongs to Barry Bouwsma, who never jokes about anything, ever.

This is the owner of netscum.dk. Does he look like someone who would kid around about such a thing?
