And even if they did use a symbolic address that needed translation, Microsoft has also hard wired the HOSTS so that certain microsoft.com domain addresses cannot be blocked (you enter the values in HOSTS file and they will be ignored). They've put holes in your bucket, everywhere you turn. Good luck in your mission to deny Microsoft their information stream.
