Microsoft's enviable CMS FAQ

Say what you will about Microsoft CMS ("MCMS"). I have criticized the company in the past and possess misgivings about what the next rev of the software means for current customers. But you have to be impressed by the volume of publicly-accessible MCMS resources. Check out the latest version of the official MCMS FAQ, which seems quite comprehensive and mercifully lacking in the kind of officious, take-it-or-leave-it tone that other vendors often dispense on private support sites. For example, see the very specific answer for "Implementing an RSS feed for a MCMS Web site." After reviewing the code, my first reaction is: why does generating a feed have to be this hard? My second reaction is: why doesn't every other vendor publish this kind of material openly?
