I think they also systematically degrade the whole
system in order to encourage MSDN subscriptions. With
broken links, malfunctioning pages, and numerous redundant
pages used for each topic, no one can realistically use
MSDN online. So I guess theoretically that means MS
sells more subscriptions. I don't think I've ever actually
gone there directly myself. I find topic info. through Google.
Sometimes MS happens to have the best answer.
Their latest change has resulted in no vert. scrollbar
for K-Meleon. Though it does work in Firefox OK. So I
have to switch to Firefox when visiting MSDN. (Sometimes
in the past it's been so bad that I have to load
their pages in Firefox with "no style" in order to
read them at all.)
I downloaded a page and CSS the other day, out of curiosity,
to see what the problem was with the scrollbar. It's very
strange stuff. Their CSS file, for instance, specified
HTML {overflow: none; ... and
BODY {overflow: none; ...
Weird. But it's just too much to sort out. They're using 3
CSS files, a dozen or more script files, and a bloated mess
of WYSIWYG-generated HTML.

I found the FolderItems3 page, but like all of the
other new pages it says nothing about supported
platforms.
