They are giving away free domain names?

Domain name with hosting and email and site stats FREE permenantly or paid options

I'm guessing that if you go with the free option and you get a domain name, you don't have access to change the dns, and maybe the domain is registered to microsoft and not you.

Does anyone know anymore about this?
