Hi Mike,
The easiest answer to give is: you will know what you're getting ...and what
you're not getting. Here's a more polished answer from
http://www.parallelspace.net/microdex home page:
Why MicrodeX?
1. Hand-selected web sites. MicrodeX includes all of the known Microsoft
product group private web sites (e.g. www.asp.net).
2. Optimized refinements. Refinement links at the top of the search results
help focus your search using specific Microsoft-speak - jargon that
Microsoft product groups use to describe their products and technologies.
3. Experience. MicrodeX staff have been building Windows-based solutions for
more than 20 years (including 10+ years working for Microsoft). We know
their web sites, their language and how they organize them.
MicrodeX isn't trying to cast aspersions on other Microsoft-related sites
(e.g. www.wssfaq.com which I use frequently). We're trying to maintain a
specific focus on the volumes of Microsoft content that is hard to locate.
Cheers,
Michael.
