Microsoft has an ftp server (ftp.microsoft.com) with most of the
information you find in the libraries and knowledge base on CompuServe. 
However, it's just a plain vanilla ftp server - finding the patch for your
particular problem is a major bear.  Open Systems Today (a trade rag for
the unix wannabe community) mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Microsoft
is working on a World Wide Web server.  They have some incentive - Novell
has been running a gopher server for a while and now has a decent WWW
server for getting the nth patch for Netware 4.x.
