True enough, however the MSDN docs should
start to move over to the main MSDN site relatively soon now, since 2.0 has
officially shipped. Msdn2.microsoft.com is their staging server to get
pre-release stuff setup before it ships.

That script searches the release docn for .Net (1.x). IP relies
on .Net 2, so I think the .Start line should be
Process.Start("http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/searchbeta/Default.aspx?"
+ query)
Otherwise, some results will be missing or perhaps incomplete (or, rarely,
incorrect).

Pretty easily done with a quick script:
import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName("System")
from System import String
from System.Diagnostics import Process
def msdn(query):
if query.GetType() == String.Empty.GetType():
Process.Start("http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?View=msdn&st=b&c=4&s=1&swc=4&qu="
+ query)
else:
msdn(query.GetType().FullName)
Will launch the MSDN help page in the user s default
browser. I m not sure if there s a nicer way to determine if the
parameter is a string or not, and this also relies on the fact that the browser
will normalize the query string (if it contains a space for instance) & but
will break if you query contains the & character. However, for
debugging purposes, if you throw that in your site.py you re all set J

Following
up the improving the experience for new .Net users, IronPython could provide
specialized commands to search msdn and pop up a internet window. For example
something like
msdn
"System.Security.Cryptography.SignedXml.ComputeSignature"
// search based on literal
msdn foo // search based on the object type
