I've never seen any MS code (that would involve signing an NDA and having
my mind permanently polluted :-), but given what one can see from the
outside, I have to think it's horrible.

I do have a book here in the Microsoft Programming Series that hast to have
the funniest title I've seen in years ``Writing Solid Code: Microsoft's
Techniques for Developing Bugg-Free C Programs''.
