I'm sorry. I missed why any of this was a big deal. GoDaddy paid or was paid for something, and they implemented it. For Parked Domains (that is, domains for which people aren't doing squat with), who cares? It just means Microsoft Software is being used to host domains that have no content of value. At least, not of value to the purchaser of the domain.
"I'm dropping GoDaddy because it's hosting my not-as-yet-used website on Microsoft and not Linux." Whiners. Host it yourself.
In reality, as GoDaddy is offering FREE parking as part of their domain registration, what does it matter how the FREE parking is hosted? And yes, that's FREE as in beer; it's also FREE as in libre, because when you want to use your domain as a website, you get to choose your own OS as well as your own hoster, just by changing the DNS settings.
