You are probably right. I've found the MSDN pretty inconsistent. There are a number of C#/VB.net examples that don't have any syntax highlighting at all.

It all depends which area you are in.

It's not just MSDN which is inconsistent.

Microsoft's web presence in general varies widely. The philosophy appears to highly favor providing access to knowledge/content over standardization of form/presentation.

The scale of Microsoft's web properties is vast and they do not waste resources trying to get a herd of cats to goosestep.

What does that article have to do with the standardization of form/presentation?
