If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

The goal of the Microsoft Writing Style Guide is to help editors, technical writers, developers, marketers, and anyone else in IT write better content. Now you can write high-quality documentation, just like Microsoft
*Sorry* can't stop laughing at that one.

May I join the laughing choir ? MSDN docs for devs, and forums, are beyond dis-organized, incoherent, etc.
One reason for this, imho, is that those who manage/edit/write examples/content for devs are most likely not "best of breed." Another is the spate of amateur helpers (not MS employees) who knock themselves out (and concuss other users) for the glory of merit badges ... without, imho, the kind of self-review/moderation that you find here, and on StackOvwrFlow.
Of course, there are rare exceptions: when you see an article by a "guru" like Michaelis on the MSDN on-line magazine, you know you'll get quality.

LOL, you've clearly never sought help for anything non-MS related, especially java based. Lucene, Solr, nHibernate...you name it, the documentation ranges from terrible to non-existent. Same goes for many js frameworks too, jQuery is probably the only exception and possibly one of the reasons it is so successful.

Quite true indeed... when the documentation and the provided examples work in the first place! Faaaarking Freeradius and the year of my life lost upon it.

MSDN has a lot of howto-articles and is a resource I frequently visit.
Would you prefer the documentation-style of Telerik? Google?

Funny thing is that that original Word for Windows manual is considered a tour de force in technical manuals in both design and writing. (By contrast, the early Microsoft C manuals were awful. Yet, the Turbo C manual was excellent. And so it goes.)

I disagree entirely. There should be no other style. Eschew obfuscation.

I don't use it because they said to so I certainly won't stop using because they say to.
