I frequently see users type www.microsoft.com or similar into Google. I think people see Google as their address bar, as generally it's set as the home page.

Asking a user what the address in the address box/bar is often ends with a blank expression on their face!

I've been using the Web for 14 years and I do it from time to time too! Once you're in the search box anyway, it's more hassle to correct yourself than just search for the domain you wanted :)
