- Just out of curiosity, why didn't Microsoft use the same approach used in the
- Developer Network CD-ROM? I absolutely love the search engine that was built
- into this CD-ROM. I can find anything I need in moments and then can either
- view or print it. Or, if I want, I can just go through the Table of Contents
- for the item of interest. I was really surprised to find that this was not
- the case when I got the Windows NT Beta CD-ROM.
