Heh.

Like it or not, though, for technical writing, there are two style guides 
that are the standards - the Microsoft guide, and the IBM guide.

Microsoft is more commonly used in software AIUI, though the IBM guide 
is, I think, more established.

Microsoft defers to the Chicago Manual of Style for most non-technology 
things, and Chicago (interestingly) defers to Eric S. Raymond's "Jargon 
file" section on writing.
