This is a long-known "feature" of classic WHOIS. What happens is that GULLI.COM has the right to register specific hostnames into the NIC records, and has chosen a name that also contains "MSN.COM". I believe modern WHOIS clients reject anything that doesn't *end* with the selected domain to prevent this. However, here's "MICROSOFT.COM" for your enjoyment. Heh.
