I did the same research, but I recognized it as irrelevant. No trademark registrations have been issued for Passport or .NET to Microsoft; none are pending for Passport, many are pending for .NET as text and as a logo, but none have been completed. In the meantime, as I said, Microsoft is not asserting trademark status for .NET or Passport. You'll note that it is absent from lists of trademarks on the Microsoft site, and from Microsoft's official list of trademarks. I haven't seen any use of the term with a trademark symbol following it, including your examples. In fact, I've specifically looked for this, and I've been unable to find it.
