How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

While it would not surprise me if MS did have a stake in CP it is Microsoft CENTRIC with some weird stuff thrown in so you can expect a fairly high level of MS content.

Well, in my company internet is locked except for a few util site. I was able to make CP unlocked last month because a HUGE part of MSDN search results links to CP articles or forums, so it would make sense.

Also, it would be plainly dumb if a community as big as CP ignores the biggest software house that produces compilers and IDEs. VisualStudio and other MS technologies are widely used, and Windows is still the default platform for a lot of services. Being the size that it is MS produces heavy quantities of news every day, and the general Internet user isn't interested in news involving SW development.

Wow! Never used MSDN search before, but checked it and MY article came first on the list! I may abandon Google...

By using MSDN I came to the conclusion that if you are searching something Windows related MSDN search is actually more useful and accurate than many generic search engines.
If only the .NET documentation was well crafted as the Win32 one...

Wow

, just checked it. This is a great surprise for me. However I don't think MS has stake in CP. CP is more MS Tech oriented just like the serverside.com which is more java oriented.
