The Search for the MSDN Code

Greetings.

On this eve of the launch of the consumer version of Vista, I would like to take a moment to address a small project I have been working on recently. I call it "The Search for the MSDN Code".

The MSDN Code?!? What's that? Well, it is a search for hidden meanings and phrases within the text of the MSDN library. I'm developing software to search for these phrases as we speak. The process works like this: take a document from the MSDN library and remove all the spaces within the document. Second, scan the text for "skipped letter" phrases--for instance, scan every fifth letter and record them, and then search for patterns of letters within that text. I feel this search has great potential to unlock hidden secrets and meanings buried within our libraries. Here's an example from "Building Interoperable Systems with .NET 3.0 Technologies":

Here is the regular text...

Insurance-Industry Forces

In the insurance industry, there are many technologies at play, ranging from mainframe to UNIX to Windows. With this wide range of platform technologies, it is increasingly difficult to manage and operate while trying to be agile in an ever-changing financial market. For years, organizations have been building and buying technologies to meet these needs. Interoperability has become a necessary evil after the solution has been built and/or implemented. This has left us with point-to-point integrations that address very specific problems only at the application or system level, but not at the business-function level.

Check this out. Look at the highlighted letters above. They spell out "linux is stoopid". I'm not making this up. I know this isn't quite the "skipped letter" approach I described above, but I'm sure there is some type of mathematical formula that will uncover this code.
