To fend off European regulators, Microsoft has released 30,000 pages of documentation about its development practices. Company spokespeople insist the online reference library will make Microsoft more "open" — a word used 17 times in the press release today as Microsoft complies with a ruling it fought tooth and nail. Amateurs. The White House would have cranked up the pagecount to at least 3 million. (Photo by AP/Manuel Balce Ceneta)

How are those boxes going to be accessible online? I'm just saying.
Who in the right mind would print out all of MSDN?
That Microsoft link has change or something.
Is that photo really related to this story? I mean they didn't REALLY haul 30,000 sheets of paper from their recycle bin over to some office in Europe did they?
If so, I guess we will just have to wait for Google Books to scan it all.
Also, I thought this was supposed to be documentation on their formats, not their "development practices". I mean, who would want that?
As the saying goes, let me know when your done practicing.
