Dave2 Wickham's Journal: The amount of stuff on Microsoft.com

It's interesting just how much crap there is on microsoft.com...

Use Google or AllTheWeb (they both give different results) to search site:microsoft.com and then add some terms...

Interestingly, by searching for Slashdot, I found a definition of the slashdot effect.

Interesting...

A search [google.com] for 'xenix' within microsoft.com, via google, brings up this PressPass item [microsoft.com] at the top of the list, with guest appearance by SCO MkI (as opposed to SCO MkII, the darling of the open source movement *grin*).

A FAQ for Foxpro 2.6 for Unix [microsoft.com] (yes, you read that right!) is at No.3

Further down the list, a transcript of a speech [microsoft.com] given by Bill Gates at Unix Expo in 1996. Worth reading for the namechecks given to firms who subsequently took Microsoft to court... :-)

They also seem to have got rid of someone who had a load of joke pages - search for "kirk" (for example) and use the cache...
