This is a very good question.
Firstly, there is a logistic reason, which was well summarized by
Brent in his post. Since Win32::GuiTest code is hosted on source
forge, it seams to be logical to have discussion forums there.

Secondly Microsoft loves changing things. From time to time I need to
write some code in Win API. So I visit their web page to get current
compilers and other tools. And I always find out, that there is a new
sturcture of SDKs, and getting what I want for free (which used to be
free) becomes more and more difficult.

Thirdly, I don't expect them to care to much about making their sites
work well with any browser which is not IE.
