Oh, you mean like posting an API reference, which refers to a demo 
application, which isn't hosted on the site, and hasn't been available 
since 1992, or so, when the original book the article was copied out of 
was published (and it didn't occur to them to either a) use a different 
damn name for their demos, instead of the same one for *all* of them, or 
b) repost the source as part of the article? Nope, I expect literally 
nothing less from Microsoft than this sort of crap. lol
