No, it's just a bunch of tightly-coupled pieces you have to be a 
programmer to get at. Instead of using files to pass around data, 
windows uses APIs. And it isn't especially undocumented. It just costs 
money to go to the classes that teach you the stuff properly, and there 
isn't source code available.

It's not like IIS is less documented than Apache, or the Windows 
graphics stuff is less documented than X-Windows.

Because one size doesn't fit all?
