Your welcome
The article got deleted because it failed to cite clearly whether permission was granted for you to copy-and-paste from the Microsoft website. If someone places a delete request on a page, don't take the liberty of removing the message. If you felt there was some genuine need for your article, use the template and give a reasoned argument. The fact it was written by someone else does not make it your article and even if you do get permission from Microsoft, Wikipedia is not the place to advertise Microsoft or your own preferences. If you need any more help, have a look through the following pages:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style
 * Where to ask a question

I can understand your frustration but be careful about using foul-mouthed language as this is against Wikipedia policy -> Civility. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page in a civilised manner and I will be more than happy to assist. - From the "Pompous" Green Giant 17:27, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
