I think it would be the other way around - I would assume that that

would come with a built in DOS : If I had (say) program.exe as a
domain name,
what Windows user would ever type it in ?
I think this would be one of the TLDs that they'd refuse.
Then again, there are DOS commands that do end in .com (CHOICE,
COMMAND, CMD, DISKCOMP, HELP,etc). More can be seen at :
