Alternatively telnet whois.verisign-grs.com 43, then type microsoft.com[enter].

If you want a wildcard match, simply do =microsoft.com[enter].

You get similar results for google.com too :)

IBM's is quite funny too:

IBM.COM.X.SERIES.SERVER.SUCKS.A.LOT.BAOZUITUN.NET IBM.COM.IS.TOLL.JUKE-CLUB.COM IBM.COM.DO.NOT.BUY.IBM.SERVERS.IT.WILL.REBOOT.A.LOT.BAOZUITUN.NET IBM.COM.CN IBM.COM
