IMO, it is a very good point for technical correctness - "demonstrably correct" or verification by demoing it.

Thanks for your comment. Partly it is a trust issue - some Microsoft employees have contributed non-technical content and technical content to Wikipedia only to have their content rejected as "biased". Microsoft policy is that when you are acting in community, to identify yourself as a Microsoft employee if that might be an issue. Many think wikipedia is not focused on the technology audience. We thought we could better solve these problems with a wiki that is open to everyone, including Microsoft employees, that is interested in sharing information on using Microsoft products. I hope you give it a try and find it useful.

I see your argument for a TechNet wiki as valid, there are a lot of IT related wikis, Samba's wiki comes to mind. Is there some question as to why technical content shouldn't be posted on Wikipedia?
