As mentioned elsewhere in this thread:

Rules of Conduct
<URL:http://www.microsoft.com/communities/conduct/default.mspx>

| *Advertising/Solicitation:* These communities were created
| as a forum for providing peer-to-peer assistance related to using
| Microsoft products and services. We ask that you refrain from
| posting unsolicited advertisements that do not pertain directly to
| the intended use and purpose of the newsgroup or chat.

If interpreted strictly the offending post would violate this rule which
applies to groups in the "microsoft.public.*" hierarchy.
