Its not really microsofts doing. I belive your refering to RealNames see -


www.realnames.com


Typing the 'RealName' into IE or most of the major search engines direct you

to the 'RealName' companys alias URL.


Tried it as a tool for SE enhancement without a great deal of success but

could be useful for a well branded company name.
