Noticed this last night. Maybe it's already been posted, but if not:

"In November 2001, Microsoft, the U.S. Department of Justice, and nine State
Attorneys General agreed to a proposed settlement of the government's
antitrust case (proposed consent decree). For more information (including a
comprehensive archive of documents and transcripts of proceedings) about the
proposed consent decree, see the Microsoft Press Pass Settlement Proceedings
</isapi/gomscom.asp?Target=/presspass/legal/settlement.asp> Web page. For
more information about how Microsoft has fulfilled its obligations under the
decree, please see the Microsoft Settlement Program
</isapi/gomscom.asp?Target=/legal/settlementprogram/> Web page. [...]
Microsoft teams identified a few hundred undocumented Windows interfaces
that were used by one or more of the Microsoft Middleware components.
Microsoft's technical writers have documented these interfaces and made them
available as APIs in the MSDN Online Library"

Enjoy...
