Hi,
Because they want you to agree to their licensing terms for the specification,
the executive summary of which would most likely be:
"... the Specification is provided to you solely for your informational
purposes (for review as specified above) and, pursuant to this Agreement,
Microsoft does not grant you any right to implement this Specification."
I imagine you can't force people to say "yes" to see the doc if it is in PDF.
Blech. No thanks.
Rgds,
