Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I was only saying that again in this
thread (Uwe and you being new to me in this list :). For the record, I
work with the port25 guys (OSTC/OSS Lab). I also have to say that my
comments in any php lists are mines :) I'm by no mean an official MSFT
speaker (and will hopefully never be :D

I solved a couple of critical issues with their help already. As they
suck badly at writing docs, it is often almost impossible to figure
out a solution only by reading the docs (if there is any, but it is
getting slightly better). However I was finally being able to solve
many of them by asking the right guys in there. That's indeed not
ideal as not very open (even if the solution ends in cvs anyway :),
but it helps.
