Useful Microsoft Articles

I've come across a few useful articles on Microsoft's support web site. Mostly, it's from scouting about looking for a product update or about the details of something I can't expect to find from anyone else.

Of course, just because Microsoft is the only company likely to know some deep, dank detail of their products doesn't mean they are going to make the information available. Even though I've been forced to run their hurdles, crawl under their barbed wire fences, and swim across their crocodile infested moats just so I can bang my head against the Microsoft stonewall, it doesn't mean you have to.

Please let me know if there are some Microsoft articles you think I should include here, on any particular assembly subject or just generally.
