IIRC one point Microsoft had a marketing campaign where they associated everything with ".NET" and nobody could explain exactly what ".NET" even was.

Here we go with Copilot.

It wasn’t during that exact period, but at some point they even let you create @dot.net e-mail addresses. I nabbed one and was happy for the vanity of it all, but they mysteriously unplugged them maybe two or three years later.
